And we destroy what we create<br>

People fighting for their human rights<br>

But we just go on saying c'est la vie<br>

So this is life<br>

There must be more to life than killing<br>

A better way for us to survive<br>

There must be more to life than this<br>

There must be more to life than this<br>

I live in hope for a world filled with love<br>

Then we can all just live in peace<br>

There must be more to life much more to life<br>

There must be more to life more to life than this

Lyrics

There must be more to life than this
There must be more to life than this
How do we cope in a world without love
Mending all those broken hearts
And tending to those crying faces
There must be more to life than living
There must be more than meets the eye
Why should it be just a case of black or white
There must be more to life than this

Why is this world so full of hate
People dying everywhere
And we destroy what we create
People fighting for their human rights
But we just go on saying c'est la vie
So this is life

There must be more to life than killing
A better way for us to survive
What good is life in the end we all must die
There must be more to life than this

There must be more to life than this
There must be more to life than this
I live in hope for a world filled with love
Then we can all just live in peace
There must be more to life much more to life
There must be more to life more to life than this
