They say the

skies of Lebanon
are burning

Those mighty cedars
bleeding in the heat

They're showing pictures
011 the television

W'omen and children
dying in the street

g

And we're still at it

in our own place

Still trying to

reach the future
thru' the past

Still trying to
carve tomorrow
from a. tombstone

g

W7e've heard

too much of

that before

Right now I
only want to be

here With you

I want to take you

to the island

And in the evening
when there's
no one around

W e'll make love

to the sound
of the ocean

They re ralamg

banners over
by the markets

VVhitewashing slogans

on the

shipyard walls

W itch doctors

praying for a

mighty showdown

N 0 way our

holy flag is

gonna fall

Up here we
sacriiice our children

to feed the

VOI'll Ollt dr 681118

of yesterday

And teach them

dying will lead
us into glory

'Cos this wasn't

meant to be

no sad song

Right now I
only want to be

here With you

Till the morning

dew comes falling

I want to take you

to the island

And trace your

footprints in
the sand

And in the evening
when there's
no one around

Fa,

No I know us

plain folks don't
see all the story

And how this

twisted xweckage
down 011 Main Sireet
will bring us all
together in the end

And we'll go marching

down the road
to freedom
