(olivia newton-john)
wash the blood from my hands
take the pain from my heart
i just can't understand
what it is that we do
what's the thread running through
the heritage of man
how can i justify to my child what we're doing
when i can't explain it myself
and if i close my eyes to the wild silent ruin
then i'm just like everyone else
and i cry for their beauty; i cry for their pain
and i cry that my child may not see them again
will i leave her a legacy she's being denied
oh i pray that we will when i kiss her goodbye
how can i justify to my child what we're doing
when i can't explain it myself
and if i close my eyes to the wild silent ruin
then i'm just like everyone else
oh i dream of a time in the future
when we can renurture the damage we've done
for although there's a dark side to all human nature
our true selves are born in the sun
our true selves are born in the sun
please explain to me what we have done |
