I don't want to hear it.
All about how you became this way,
Or any way at all.
Face all the facts.
It was your decision to make your life hell,
And now you fall.

But don't you tell me such a whiny story.
I don't want to hear it, 'cause...

Take away the drugs. Take away the booze.
Take away the pain that's in the news.
Take away the screaming. Take a way the fighting.
What is left but peace in this big blue sky?
I just want to see - everybody please? -
Holding hands in a chain around the world
Maybe we can be - everybody please? -
Living in peace around the world

And now you finally
Start to believe that you're the only one
Who can change yourself.
We all start to see,
When we open our eyes, the world we made
And we start to change it.

But it's not up to me what we're gonna do.
Let's all stand together to make this life new.

Take away the drugs. Take away the booze.
Take away the pain that's in the news.
Take away the screaming. Take a way the fighting.
What is left but peace in this big blue sky?
I just want to see - everybody please? -
Holding hands in a chain around the world
Maybe we can be - everybody please? -
Living in peace around the world

Maybe it's a hopeless dream.
But I choose to still believe.
Maybe its a hopeless dream.
But I choose to still believe.

Take away the drugs. Take away the booze.
Take away the pain that's in the news.
Take away the wars. Take away the scars.
Can't we try peace instead of strife?

Take away the drugs. Take away the booze.
Take away the pain that's in the news.
Take away the screaming. Take a way the fighting.
What is left but peace in this big blue sky?
I just want to see - everybody please? -
Holding hands in a chain around the world
Maybe we can be - everybody please? -
Living in peace around the world
