Hang out the flags a new world order¡¯s on the way
|
Start singing now a song to greet the joyful day
|
Just when we thought
|
The time was right for celebrating
|
With music of the spheres
|
What¡¯s this - another boat of fleeing refugees on
|
A sea of children¡¯s tears
|
|
Once more the sound of crying
|
Is number one across the earth
|
|
We¡¯re only men and women doing what we can
|
Sometimes I think that God is working to a plan
|
Then other times I swear that he is improvising
|
Discordant and remote
|
Another orphan baby in failed uprising
|
Another real bum note
|
|
Once more the sound of crying
|
Is number one across the earth
|
|
And if you¡¯re listening up there
|
You could consider this a prayer
|
Well who am I to tell you how to run your business
|
Man, you could strike me blind
|
What kind of noise we gotta make down here
|
Before we destroy your peace of mind
|
|
Once more the sound of crying
|
Is number one across the earth
|
