Tell me how would you feel
If you woke up in the morning
And your wife and kids were gone
Torn apart
While they were Christmas shopping
By some coward who planted a bomb
Now I don't care about your religion
Our your creed or your colour or race
Tell me how you would feel
If it was your family
Would your support be in the same place
Tell me what you would do
If your brother or sister
Were gunned down in the street
Just because they didn't share
Another mans religious beliefs
Now I don't care about the whole story
If you think you're right or wrong
Tell me how you would feel
If it was your family
Would you be marching to the same song
Tell me how would you feel
If you woke up from a dream
With someone at the side of your bed
Hot breath and hatred
Washing over your face
And cold steel at the side of your head
Would you break down and cry
Would you grovel and lie
Would you dropdown on your knees and pray
Would you realise or would you deny
That it 's all done for the glory
Of the same name
Tell me how you would cope
If your mother or father
Were burnt to death in front of your eyes
Just because of the colour of their skin
They were hunted, hatedm despised
Now I don't care about youre sexual position
If we think about things or not
All I'm asking Mr Politician
Don't you think that the murder should stop?
