The Sound of Crying

歌詞

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
