|
Across the sand under a crescent moon |
|
In celebration of our fears |
|
And rumors circulating in the street |
|
The candle burns, the world awaits |
|
We ask, is this some kind of victory? |
|
Where is the dream? |
|
Where is the sanity? |
|
As crying echoes down the corridors |
|
The child comes running to his mother's arms |
|
And all the things |
|
I hold so dear to me |
|
I love my wife, |
|
I love my family |
|
We ask, is this some kind of victory? |
|
Where is the dream? |
|
Where is the sanity? |
|
Raise up your heads and voices |
|
The promise of beyond |
|
With courage, face the moment |
|
Remember who you are |
|
A frightened people losing dignity |
|
The shadow of an island in their minds |
|
While fools are bent on making history |
|
With nothing gained, is this our destiny? |
|
We ask, is this some kind of victory? |
|
Where is the dream? |
|
Where is the sanity? |
