Whenever a Militant kills an army man, I cry
\nWhenever an Army man kills a militant, I cry
\nWhenever a Pakistani kills an Indian, I cry
\nWhenever an Indian kills a Pakistani, I cry<\/p>\n

Whenever, A Muslim kills a Hindu, I cry
\nWhenever, a Hindu kills a Muslim, I cry
\nWhenever a Hutu kills a Tutsi, I cry
\nWhenever Tutsi kills a Hutu, I cry<\/p>\n

Whenever an Israeli Kills a Palestinian, I cry
\nWhenever a Palestinian kills an Israeli, I cry
\nWhenever an ISISian Kills an American, I cry

Whenever a black, kills a white, I cry
\nWhenever a white, kills a black, I cry
\nWhenever a rich, kills a poor, I cry
\nWhenever a poor, kills a rich, I cry<\/p>\n

So, on and so forth
\nAnd as a sincere devout
\nOf very humanity
\nWhenever anyone kills anyone, I cry<\/p>\n

No matter, who is wrong or right
\nBut one\u2019s might is other\u2019s plight
\nAnd ultimate loss bearer is humanity
\nSo whenever someone kills someone, I cry<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t we join heads and think wisely
\nResolve perpetual conflicts amicably
\nAnd give peace a chance to prevail
\nAnd from war, generations we save
\nI think, Inside I cry<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t we stop producing terrorists
\nThe widows, orphans and martyrs
\nAnd innumerable sufferings others
\nCan\u2019t we live together as brothers
\nI think and inside deep I cry
