All alone, just a voice in the distance Young boy in a stranger's land Looking for a helping hand On his own, when he stops just to listen Searching for familiar sounds Walking on common ground
And behind the far horizon Lies the land where he was born But the road is leading nowhere His heart is torn
We don't have to tell him He already knows We don't have to show him He already, he already knows
On the run from the gunfire Left his home, his sanctuary Four long years of tragedy In one heart, much too small, much too fragile Seen the men around him fall Seen the hatred take its toll
And the rich keep getting richer In their search for ever more And the poor keep getting poorer In his homeland
Lonely boy, where can he run to The fire is burning as far as the eye can see Hoping the grass is green across the border Hoping for peace, and no more rivalry His father is old, old enough to be his granddad Trying to make a living off eroded land His mother's got to work seven days a week Feeding her children illusions in the sand
(Lonely boy) The least we can do is to help him (Lonely boy) The least we can do is to care (Lonely boy) At least we could offer him shelter (Lonely boy) At least we could show that we're there
And the wind in the desert Blows the message across Beyond the far horizon Lies the land where he was born But the road is leading nowhere But the road is leading nowhere
We don't have to tell him He already knows We don't have to show him He already, he already knowsTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
