Song | Silent Ruin |
Artist | Olivia Newton-John |
Album | Gaia: One Woman's Journey |
Lyrics:Olivia Newton-John Music: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 |
Lyrics: Olivia NewtonJohn Music: Olivia NewtonJohn | |
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 |
