Take a look at that child - living in a zone of war
|
It could be yours or mine but not for very long
|
For now it's judgement's day, tonite it will be killed
|
But maybe in your dreams it comes around again
|
To tell you lovely things about a paradise
|
Where everything is clean and everybody's nice
|
And everything is love and everything is light
|
Where Mom and Papa wait to kiss you good night
|
|
Oh mighty Jesus, where is the sky?
|
Where is that great wide open
|
Where I used to fly?
|
Where went my strength and anger
|
Who takes the blame?
|
Are we just lost in life - without an aim?
|
Oh mother Mary, where have we gone?
|
So far away from you and from the sun
|
I send you all my love
|
In a handful of darkness
|
|
And all the things you've done
|
And all the things you've seen
|
And all the books you've read
|
Are spinning in your head
|
And every time you leave and every time you stay
|
You'll always turn around and think about the day
|
There's not much we can do
|
There's not much we could say
|
It's all about the things we do from day to day
|
And all the things we've done
|
And all the things we've seen
|
And all the books we've read
|
Stay somewhere in our heads
|
|
Oh mighty Jesus, where is the sky?
|
Where is that great wide open
|
Where I used to fly?
|
Where went my pride and courage
|
Who takes the blame?
|
Are we just lost in hate - without an aim?
|
Oh mother Mary, where have I gone?
|
So far away from home and from the sun
|
I send you all my hopes
|
In a handful of darkness
|
|
Just take a look at that child...
