The world goes to war, but who is it for
|
Can we sleep in our beds at night
|
And remember the pain,
|
and not want to regain
|
When cathedrals were white
|
You know I still think of you,
|
and all we went through
|
But the years have now faded the light
|
Is your love still the same
|
as it was on that day
|
When cathedrals were white
|
All those onward Christian soldiers
|
Fighting onward Christian wars
|
Are you surprised when you discover
|
Just what they're fighting for?
|
We run through the rain
|
and we get through the pain
|
And we teach all our kids wrong from right
|
But can we ever say that we love like the day
|
When cathedrals were white
|
All those leaders and cheaters
|
Disguise their deeds with a smile
|
So nonchalant, as they turn to tell you
|
All your thoughts are on file
|
And who is to blame that we've come to this day
|
When no one remembers what it was like
|
Back when honesty reigned, when we loved not for gain
|
When cathedrals were white
|
When cathedrals were white
|
