Here standing we don't know why
Understanding is rare
Good men living on borrowed time
Sanity's gone to the dogs
The pains of the people like the rain
Falling in streams of tears
A lonely child looks to the sky
The stars are silent tonight
Child!
There'll be a better way
The sun will shine in your eyes
Omo o, omo o
Omo o, ma beru, omo o, ma fo'ya o
Time, like an ever-flowing stream
Bears all her sons away
They fade like a dream fades at break of dawn
And we are still the same, we don't change
Times, they may come, they may go
They bring changes in what we see and what we know
But the hearts of men are set in greedy ways
We don't change
Everything is still the same
It's just the way we are
Somebody's loss is another's gain
History recalls, we never learn
And the poor and the young always take the blame
Child...
I wish I had the answers
I'll take your pains away
I wish I was the angel of peace
Change the world in a breath... |
