Silent Ruin
|
(Olivia Newton-John)
|
|
Wash the blood from my hands
|
Take the pain from my heart
|
I just can't understand
|
What it is that we do
|
What's the thread running through
|
The heritage of man
|
|
How can I justify to my child what we're doing
|
When I can't explain it myself
|
And if I close my eyes to the wild silent ruin
|
Then I'm just like everyone else
|
|
And I cry for their beauty; I cry for their pain
|
And I cry that my child may not see them again
|
Will I leave her a legacy she's being denied
|
Oh I pray that we will when I kiss her goodbye
|
|
How can I justify to my child what we're doing
|
When I can't explain it myself
|
And if I close my eyes to the wild silent ruin
|
Then I'm just like everyone else
|
|
Oh I dream of a time in the future
|
When we can renurture the damage we've done
|
For although there's a dark side to all human nature
|
Our true selves are born in the sun
|
Our true selves are born in the sun
|
Please explain to me what we have done
|
