 F5  
     It's in the paper every day
  C#5                            G#5     D#5       F5
I see it in the headlines and I feel so sick, yeah
                           C#5              
Another life leaves this world (this world) 
    G#5     D#5       F5
so full of hate But short
                   C#5           
Short on compassion
 G#5          D#5     F5
   Short on humanity
                        C#5 
Asking myself in vain, shaken by the shock,
        G#5         D#5     
"do we even have a chance?"
 F5
              C#5
I don't wanna die
                G#5
(I don't wanna kill)
              D#5
I don't wanna kill
               F5
(I don't wanna die)
           C#5    G#5
We are all human.
              D#5       F5
It's time to prove it.
              C#5
I don't wanna die
                G#5
(I don't wanna kill)
              D#5
I don't wanna kill
               F5
(I don't wanna die)
           C#5    G#5
We are all human.
              D#5
It's time to prove it.

 F5                                  C#5
    This is a plea for peace (world peace)
           G#5           D#5       F5
To the oppressors of the world and to
                            C#5  
To the leaders of nations, corporate profit takers,
        G#5     D#5  
to the everday citizen
  G#5  C#5    G#5   D#5
Greed, envy, fear, hate
     C#5        G#5     D#5
The competition has to stop.
         G#5          C#5            G#5              D#5
When you see someone down, now's the time to pick them up
       C#5                    G#5         D#5       
Set our differences aside and never look back, no
 F5
              C#5
I don't wanna die
                G#5
(I don't wanna kill)

[excerpt from Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech:]
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, 
I still have a dream
we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children,
black men and white men
Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, 
 F5                    C#5
    will be able to join hands
 G#5             D#5
    "Free at last,  free at last.
 F5               C#5          G#5          D#5
    Thank God Almighty, we are free at last."
