They say the skies of | |
Lebanon are burning | |
Those mighty cedars bleedin’ in the heat | |
They're showing pictures on the television | |
Women and children dying in the street | |
And we're still at it in our own place | |
Still tryin’ to reach the future through the past | |
Still tryin’ to carve tomorrow from a tombstone... | |
But Hey! Don't listen to me! this wasn't meant to be no sad song . | |
We've heard too much of that before | |
Right now | |
I only want to be here with you | |
Till the morning dew comes falling | |
And I wanna take you to the island | |
Trace your footprints in the sand | |
And in the evening when the sun goes down | |
We'll make love to the sound of the ocean | |
They're raising banners over by the markets | |
Whitewashing slogans on our shipyard walls | |
Witchdoctors praying for a mighty showdown | |
No way our holy flag is gonna’ fall | |
Up here we sacrifice our children | |
To feed the worn-out dreams of yesterday | |
And teach them dying will lead us into glory... | |
But Hey! Don't listen to me! cos this wasn't meant to be no sad song . | |
I've sung too much of that before | |
Right now | |
I only want to be with you | |
Till the morning dew comes falling | |
I wanna take you to the island | |
And trace your footprints in the sand | |
And in the evening when there’s no one around | |
We'll make love to the sound of the ocean | |
Now I know us plain folks don't see all the story | |
And I know this peace and love's just copping out | |
And I guess these young boys dying in the ditches | |
Is just what being free is all about | |
And how this twisted wreckage down on main street | |
Will bring us all together in the end | |
And we'll go marching down the road to freedom... | |
Freedom……. | |
Freedom |
They say the skies of | |
Lebanon are burning | |
Those mighty cedars bleedin' in the heat | |
They' re showing pictures on the television | |
Women and children dying in the street | |
And we' re still at it in our own place | |
Still tryin' to reach the future through the past | |
Still tryin' to carve tomorrow from a tombstone... | |
But Hey! Don' t listen to me! this wasn' t meant to be no sad song . | |
We' ve heard too much of that before | |
Right now | |
I only want to be here with you | |
Till the morning dew comes falling | |
And I wanna take you to the island | |
Trace your footprints in the sand | |
And in the evening when the sun goes down | |
We' ll make love to the sound of the ocean | |
They' re raising banners over by the markets | |
Whitewashing slogans on our shipyard walls | |
Witchdoctors praying for a mighty showdown | |
No way our holy flag is gonna' fall | |
Up here we sacrifice our children | |
To feed the wornout dreams of yesterday | |
And teach them dying will lead us into glory... | |
But Hey! Don' t listen to me! cos this wasn' t meant to be no sad song . | |

Right now | |
I only want to be with you | |
Till the morning dew comes falling | |
I wanna take you to the island | |
And trace your footprints in the sand | |
And in the evening when there' s no one around | |
We' ll make love to the sound of the ocean | |
Now I know us plain folks don' t see all the story | |
And I know this peace and love' s just copping out | |
And I guess these young boys dying in the ditches | |
