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 |
