[00:11.150] They say the skies of Lebanon are burning
[00:15.747] Those mighty cedars bleeding in the heat
[00:22.053] They're showing pictures on the television
[00:27.322] Women and children dying in the street
[00:31.852]
[00:33.998] And we're still at it in our own place
[00:39.071] Still trying to reach the future through the past
[00:44.788] Still trying to carve tomorrow from a tombstone
[00:51.921]
[00:53.803] But hey, don't listen to meThis wasn't meant to be no sad song
[01:00.471] We've heard too much of that before
[01:05.055] Right now I only want to be here with you
[01:10.149] Till the morning dew comes falling
[01:15.747]
[01:17.002] I wanna take you to the island
[01:22.338] And trace your footprints in the sand
[01:27.857] And in the evening when the sun goes down
[01:33.184] We'll make love to the sound of the ocean
[01:37.586]
[01:46.920] They're raising banners over by the markets
[01:52.030] Whitewashing slogans on the shipyard walls
[01:57.949] Witchdoctors praying for a mighty showdown
[02:03.427] No way our holy flag is gonna fall
[02:08.158]
[02:10.626] Up here we sacrifice our children
[02:14.841] To feed the worn-out dreams of yesterday
[02:20.362] And teach them dying will lead us into glory
[02:26.631]
[02:27.569] But hey, don't listen to meThis wasn't meant to be no sad song
[02:35.823] We've heard too much of that before
[02:41.493] Right now I only want to be here with you
[02:46.394] Till the morning dew comes falling
[02:50.948]
[02:52.478] I wanna take you to the island
[02:58.474] And trace your footprints in the sand
[03:03.777] And in the evening when the sun goes down
[03:09.104] We'll make love to the sound of the ocean
[03:12.597]
[03:45.528] Now I know us plain folks don't see all the story
[03:50.814] And I know this peace and love's just copping out
[03:55.793] And I guess these young boys dying in the ditches
[04:02.011] Is just what being free is all about
[04:06.218]
[04:07.676] And how this twisted wreckage down on main street
[04:13.709] Will bring us all together in the end
[04:18.993] And we'll go marching down the road to freedom
[04:28.515] Freedom
