Brinsley Forde - Million Miles

Текст песни

«Why must the colour of man’s skin —
Why must it always be denied?
Is there no hope?
Til love begins — mankind will never win
Oh why?
Why must there be? Tell me again —
First class and second class citizens
Until these things are made abundant
As long as this is — never a million miles away
I see the blood run down the street
Will they forever find the cause
Conflicts and rumours assuring wars
Never a million miles away
I see them fighting in the East
I see them warring in the West
And though they dream of lasting peace
Wars and wars will never cease
Never a million miles away
I hear their screams I hear their cry
I hear the weak, they’re asking why
Why must the strong, they loot and plunder?
Why must they raid and conquer?
Until these days come to an end —
Until all nations stand as friends
Until these things have come to past
No peace will last
Never a million miles away"
