The Time You See
You are killing people.
You are throwing them away
From their own land.
You claim you are a child of the true God!
And you want peace.
You want peace so that you can live,
Live a very very good life.
So that you can marry, have children
So that you can have a better future for them.
And your philosophy will pass throughout generations.
You will be remembered as a Hero.
You are saving people.
You are giving them hope to live.
You are inspiring them not to leave home.
Have patient, fight back
Be a man and stand still.
You have no food, no water,
Nowhere to go.
You are a man of honor
You see God in others.
You live in fear,
Fear of losing people you love.
All the philosophy of the world
Remains in a cave.
One day, one year, a hundred years
You live, you live, you never-ever die.
The conflict goes on and on
It's always, You Vs. You
You lose and You win
You die and You live
You are cruel,
You are decent.
You are a murderer,
You spread love.
You can do it all!
Are you God?
I doubt that can't be.
Then who is God?
The time you see.
