How do I do this, How can I save us from this war?
A war we've started with not one thing worth fighting for.
Not a war fought for family or even compassion for another;
Instead we fight for ourselves, our needs, but never for the love of a brother.

So many years wasted in this battle that has only brought us pain,
Too consumed in only our thoughts, too blind to see that we all are to blame.
We are so quick to point the finger, so busy searching for their flaws;
So caught up in tearing you apart even though we too are flawed.

Who are we to say that the life they are choosing is wrong,
It's ok to be different, we don't have to be the same to belong.
When did it become so hard to just love each one for whom they truly are;
To help someone become stronger, but...
