Every war has two sides
They both do what they think is right
A different perspective could fix it all
But can people prevail
Or are we bound to fail

The martyrs of the past
From very first to last
History textbooks are all that remain
Will we end up the same
Or will we change our future for the best
It's up to humanity's choices

Cities burn and children learn that
No one is the same
But from a Muslim to Jew
Or me to you
Aren't we all the same

People together have shaped the past
Let's make a future and pray it lasts
Don't forget who we've left behind
Make their lives worth it
And don't you forget
We're on
On the timeline

Mistakes have been made that's true
But success is in there too
The history of our days long past
Affects us still today

Can't we make a change for the better
Of us and our future
Or are we stuck the way we are
Like a single ton cement bar

Don't we want our lives to make a difference
In the days coming soon
Or do we all want to be forgotten
Like Saturday channel eight night news

Cities burn and children learn that
No one is the same
But from a Muslim to Jew
Or me to you
Aren't we all the same

People together have shaped the past
Let's make a future and pray it lasts
Don't forget who we've left behind
Make their lives worth it
And don't you forget
We're on
On the timeline

We can make we break the future
But when it's all said and done
Can we hope to make it a good one
Will humanity fail

Or will we change the present while we can
We can do it hand and hand
The future of our lives and days
Is falling down rain

If we can fix our lives
If we all really live till we die
If we all give in to love
Who will be left to shove

Cities burn and children learn that
No one is the same
But from a Muslim to Jew
Or me to you
Aren't we all the same

People together have shaped the past
Let's make a future and pray it lasts
Don't forget who we've left behind
Make their lives worth it
And don't you forget
We're on
On the timeline

Yes it is hard believe
The difference we can achieve
But the truth of matter is
It's not up to you
The future's coming soon

But the future's not guaranteed
It's your choice to take a stand
Our future people will think of you
But only if you save them too

The martyrs of the past
From very first to last
History textbooks are all that remain
Will we end up the same
Or will we change our future for the best
It's up to humanity's choices

Cities burn and children learn that
No one is the same
But from a Muslim to Jew
Or me to you
Aren't we all the same

People together have shaped the past
Let's make a future and pray it lasts
Don't forget who we've left behind
Make their lives worth it
And don't you forget
We're on
On the timeline

We're lost
On the
We're found
On the
We're on
On the
