Be Not Always

Always, be not always
 And if always
 Bow our heads in shame
 Always, please be not always
 And if always
 Bow our heads in blame
 'Cause time has made promises
 Just promises
 Faces, did you see their faces
 Did they touch you
 Have you felt such pain
 To have nothing
 To dream something
 Then lose hoping
 Is not life but lame
 But time has made promises
 Just promises
 Mothers cry, babies die
 Helplessly in arms
 While rockets fly
 And research lies
 In progress to become
 But what of men
 Of flesh and blood
 We turn our backs on life
 How can we claim to stand for peace
 When the races are in strife
 Destroying life
 Always, be not always
 But if always
 Bow our heads in shame
 Always, please, please be not always
 'Cause if always
 Bow our heads in blame
 'Cause time, time has made promises
 Death promises
