The Sparrows And The Nightingales
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 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
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 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
Wo ist der fürer der mich führt
Ich warte immernoch
Leaving home
And God is on your side
Dividing presence from the history
Watching all the time
Dividing deaf men from the listening ones
And God is on your side
Dividing soldiers from the fishermen
Watching all the time
Dividing warships from the ferryboats

In spite of all the harmful and proud people my name will be bright
and the day will hold on at the gates of the night
while the paying people will clap their hands
and out of the cannonhole a song will spread.
And with my hands, my love, your hands I'll hold
and saying no words into my
