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 reocurring dream
Races,hatred,this is what it means
And every time she witnesses the violence in the streets
She reaches for the cross and bows her head and then she pleads
Let the spell be broken
Break its hold on our minds,
Let is pass from our lives
Let the spell be broken
Every heart beats the same
So how much longer will it take?
Neighbourhoods are burning 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 on 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,over,yeah
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 on 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?
