How long have you been free

in this world of hate and greed

is it black or is it white

let's find another compromise

and our future's standing still

we're dancing in the spotlight

where is the leader who leads me

I'm still waiting ...

leaving home ...

and god is on your side

dividing sparrows from the nightingales

watching all the time

dividing water from the burning fire ... inside

and god is on your side

dividing cruelty from tenderness

watching all the time

dividing fiction from reality

move in circles walk on lines no human being in sight

calm the winds and calm the seas

let's try another kind of peace

who fights this holy civil war

a million men in uniform

and god is on your side

dividing presence from our history

watching all the time

dividing deaf men from the listening ones

leave a light on in the night for me, that I can find you

remember when we both where young and reckless and so curious ...

now you're hiding from your child ... a new day's dawning

remember that you felt alive, sometimes ...

and god is on your side

dividing soldiers from the fisherman

watching all the time

dividing warships from the ferryboats
