Song Lyrics

In my defence what is there to say?
All the mistakes we made
Must be faced today
It's not easy now
Knowing where to start
While the world we love
Tears itself apart

I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong?
For just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between
With a fading dream

In my defence
What is there to say?
We destroy the love It's our way We never listened enough Never faced the truth And like a passing song Love is here and then it's gone I'm just a singer with a song How can I try to right the wrong ? For just a singer with a melody I'm caught in between With a fading dream Caught in between with a fading dream Caught in between with a fading dream Oh what on earth ? Oh what on earth ? How do I try ? Do we live or die ? Oh help me God Please help me
