Story Behind The Song

Lyrics
V1: They were called Ghandi, Buddha, Mohammad, Christ
Call them anything you like
When they were alive, they taught us to strive
To live lives of compassion, mercy and love
They would be so ashamed
To think we used their name
To justify killing those
Who don't believe like we do
Why can't we end these wars
Remember what we're here for
It's about love.....it's about love
V2: We're their daughters - we're their sons
Let's just think about what we've done
Twisted their words - forgotten that we
Are all part of the same family
What would they think of us
How we've betrayed their trust
Forsaking the one thing
They wanted us to learn
Treat others as we would be
Live in harmony
It's about love - it's about love
Bridge: You talk about religion
And the pros and cons of war
You talk till your face is blue
And then you talk some more
Where does it get you?
What do you gain?
Can't you see in the end
We're all the same?
V3: Call yourself Hindu, Christian, Muslim, Zen
We're all just women and men
We can still live our lives in peace
If we just practice what we preach
Why can't we share our faith
While we celebrate
How we are so alike
And yet so unique
Believe in what you might
We don't have to fight
It's about love - it's about love
Love, love
