Lyrics

FACES OF LOVE

Sometimes I just don’t understand
Why we choose to live this way
Strangers in a troubled world growing more violent with each day

How many wars must we fight?
How many crosses must we burn?
How many saints must walk this earth before we ever learn?

What kind of man kills a child?
What kind of nation kills its own?
Trading politics for hunger a bullet for a bone

Now, some yearn for Armageddon’s day
Other’s only for their daily bread
While the victims of the torturer’s hand would give their lives to see their deaths

And, aah, this world is often cold
And sometimes hard to rise above
But when I look into your eyes, baby
I see the faces of love

And, aah, this world is cold and cruel
And sometimes hard to rise above
But when I look into your eyes, baby
I see the faces of love

Now how much history must pass
Before we ever come to see
That we’ve been given one grand chance to see creation’s beauty

Content to let it slip away
We fill our valleys with debris
Paving the Promised Land, we trap ourselves within our cities

Now, do these words inspire thought?
Does this song I sing inspire fear?
Well, let me take my lover by the hand and lead her out of here...

And, aah, this world is often cold
And sometimes hard to rise above
But when I look into your eyes, baby
I see the faces of love

And, aah, this world is cold and cruel
And sometimes hard to rise above
But when I look into your eyes, baby
I see the faces of love
Yeah, when I look into your eyes, baby
I see the faces of love
Hey...Yeah...
