And why is love such a surprise? When hate can close most other eyes An old suspicion curls the fist Somebody's kept a careful list Can you turn back a clock that's moving day by day like this? And lights switch off on every porch Here comes the match, here comes the torch Here comes the dunce with his pitchfork The sound of boots that used to say that they were on your side Brother John, Frère Jacques What's gone wrong? What's gone wrong this time? Who's got a light? Our kindled dreams have found their match Here comes the fear turned into hate It's hard to feel when it's too late And ticking timepieces don't wait for things to fall in place Brother John, Frère Jacques What's gone wrong? What's gone wrong this time? Who's got a light? Who's got a light? Who's got a light? Who's got a light to make the darkness go away all night? Brother John, Frère Jacques What's gone wrong? What's gone wrong this time? Who's got a light? You cannot work, you cannot love What song can lift away the chains? What song can make the rain return? What song can open doors of hope? What songs can start us fresh again? What song can make the morning somewhere that you'd like to be? Who's got a light? Who's got a light? Who's got a light to make the darkness go away all night?
