Broken

You don't have to look too hard

To see the future in that old woman's eyes

Her son's broken

And his son's close behind

Disappointment's on her face

She's been walking through a reoccuring dream

Races, hatred, this is what it means

And every time she witnesses the violence in the streets

She reaches for the cross bows her head and then she pleads

Let the spell be broken

Break its hold from our minds

Let it pass from our lives

Let the spell be broken

Every heart beats the same

So how much longer will it take ?

Neighbourhoods are burnin' down

And when they're gone

There's still a line in the dust

Your side, my side

Ain't things bad enough

'Cause everyone's a victim of the violence in the street

And every mother knows about the sorrow that it breeds

So let the spell be broken

Break its hold from our minds

Let it pass from our lives

Let the spell be broken

Every heart beats the same

So how much longer will it take

Till it's over yeah

Let the spell be broken

Let the spell be broken

'Cause everyone's a victim of the violence in the street

And every mother knows about the sorrow that it breeds

So let the spell be broken

Break its hold from our minds

Let it pass from our lives

Let the spell be broken

Every heart beats the same

So how much longer will it take?
