Played on Pepper

Mothers giving
birth to a little son
crying in the rain of falling bombs
Father he is young but deep and wise
You see the fighter inside his eyes
Hold me cover my sight
This is no paradise
Don´t show me
the evil sides of the world
Chorus:
How many hours and how many days
love is just slipping away
How many seasons and how many years
in tears
How many centuries and how many lives
in fear
People selling flowers
like nothing´s going on
turning their backs on a world gone wrong
Children play around I guess they found some wheels
You see them running down the naked fields
Hold me cover my sight
This is no paradise
Don´t show me
the evil sides of the world
Chorus:
How many hours and how many days
love is just slipping away
How many seasons and how many years
in tears
How many centuries and how many lives
in fear

On the street you are listening to every beat of your heart
Want to know if it's working and you're still alive
On your feet you are walking around with your clothes torn apart
In a nightmare where the question is how to survive
In this dangerous land
I'm trying the best that I can
to be a respectable man
So won't you listen won't you listen to me
Chorus:
I'm breaking the law if you don't give me more than public attention
I'm breaking the rules gonna act like a fool
On the street you are looking so hard for a place for the night
All you want is understanding of your basic rights
In this dangerous land
I'm trying the best that I can
to be a respectable man
So won't you listen won't you listen to me
Chorus:
I'm breaking the law if you don't give me more than public attention
I'm breaking the rules gonna act like a fool
I'm crossing the line if you don't give me time on your television
I've got something to say don't push me away

Take a look around this
lonely place
where a mask is worn on every face
and painted lips gently kiss
the end of their cigarettes

This world is dressed in such finess
to cover all the emptiness
We're standing here in between
the pages of a magazin

Chorus:
You'll never know what I feel inside me
I'll never know what you think about
Untill we share what we keep in private
Untill we find what we're living without

Our shadows move across the wall
No promises no talk at all
Inside the crowd we dance alone
with faces made of stone

Chorus:
You'll never know what I feel inside me
I'll never know what you think about
Untill we share what we keep in private
Untill we find what we're living without

I catch a word of
the universal rhyme
in the summertimes in the summertimes
The river flows and I wonder where it goes
only heaven knows only heaven knows

Inpatient with the human race
still Nature shows a friendly face
And I believe in paradise on Earth

But then tonight I had this dream
so horrible I had to scream
I saw the Earth naked like the Moon
naked like the Moon

(Piano)

Inpatient with the human race
still Nature shows a friendly face
And I believe in paradise on Earth

But when I saw the News today
so horrible I had to pray
Don't leave the Earth naked like the Moon
naked like the Moon
But even though the
cold from your still beatingnd even though the cold in your eyesmakes me freeze all the
time

Nothing can stop
emotions
that run down the sides of your face
Wish i could change this moment to
another time and place

Nothing you say can move
me
I've chosen the road that I'm on
I have to join the fight for freedom
until the war is won

Chorus:
We will keep the faith between us
if we only try
We will keep the truth inside us
love will never lie

Someone will always hear
you
Care about you when you cry
But no one can hear my heart is breaking
as I say goodbye

Chorus:
We will keep the faith between us
if we only try
We will keep the truth inside us
love will never lie


But even though the
cold from your still beatingnd even though the cold in your eyesmakes me freeze all the
time
