Be Not Always

Be Not Always - The Jacksons

Always be not always and if always bow our heads in shame

Always please be not always

And if always bow our heads in blame

'Cause time has made promises just promises

Faces did you see their faces

Did they touch you

Have you felt such pain

To have nothing to dream something then lose hoping

Is not life but lame

But time has made promises just promises

Mothers cry babies die helplessly in arms while rockets fly and research lies in progress to become

But what of men are flesh and blood

We turn our backs on life

How can we claim to stand for peace when the race is armed in strife destroying life

Always be not always

But if always bow our heads in shame

Always please be not always

'Cause if always bow our heads in blame

'Cause time time has made promises just promises
