It's No Play

Don’t know what I’m going to do.
Don’t know what I’m going to say.
Can’t take it back after it has been done.
It’s no play.

I don’t know why things are this way
I don’t know why people live this way
Repeating our sins, will bring us no peace
Life’s a gift, treat it that way

We all have our own will
No one’s perfect you know
We all make mistakes, baby

So bring us some more wine
Let toast our past
Let’s leave it there but learn from it, at last
It’s no play
I’ve been giving my life away
To heal our wounds
Don’t turn your back and walk away, please stay
It’s no play
(It’s no play)

Our precious world’s falling apart, because of hate
No one wants to be the looser, come whatever that may
Don’t sacrifice your lives, their worth living

Too many have died in our past
Too much sorrow, the angels are crying
Forgive but don’t forget
It’s no play.

Living life in circles, twisting all of our words
Leading us towards death, will leave us with nothing
You can’t give life, to our collective dead
It’s no play
Common rules for us all, divided we shall fail and fall
I’ve much to say, come whatever that may
Put aside the hate, before its too late
It’s no play.

So bring us some more wine
Let’s sit together and dine
Let’s remember our collective past, as one
So bring us some more wine
Let’s sit together and dine
Let’s remember our collective past, as one

Humanity’s diverse, full of wonders on display
Stop looking through dirty glasses, it’s no play.
So consume your wine, focus on the gift of life
Stop dividing the world between “Us and Them”

So bring us some more wine
Let toast our past
Let’s leave it there but learn from it, at last
It’s no play
I’ve been giving my life away
To heal our wounds
Don’t turn your back and walk away, please stay
It’s no play
(It’s no play)
It’s no play.

Spoken at the end:
“We must change our opinions, embrace our collective worth. Together we will secure our future, divided we shall collectively fail and fall.”
