No Time for Hate

It's not a kind world.
 
Everyone fights to gnaw
someone's bliss
Everyone's out to get somebody
Everyone wants to eat the 
other's meat
Everyone wants someone to fail
 
But in the shoes of a sick man, 
Of a sick woman, of a child in pain
If we are reminded of the 
few moments we have to live
Maybe we won't have much time for hate
Maybe we won't have time for blame
 
In every second we are living
We are all dying
Day by day we are dying
We are all destroyed, we are all in pain
No one really wins, we always
Lose a bit of ourselves 
No one really stays the same
 
It's not a kind world, so why make it 
more cruel?
Why pass the chord for another man
To put it 'round his neck?
Why try to push someone over the edge
When what you really need is for that
person to care?
 
Why forget the people you've been with
While at the bottom
Why refuse to just lend an ear
To ease their sorrow?
Why forget friends as soon as you
forget humility
How could you just forget about me?
 
If only we could just remember
We are all hurting
If we could just remember 
How fragile we all are
If we could remember we only have
borrowed time
If we just remember we all 
Are gonna die, this is our fate
Maybe... just maybe... 
We won't have much time for hate.
