    Story Behind the Song
    I started writing the lyrics of this song about 2 years ago, a way to exorcize all the things I feel are going wrong around the planet. It took me about a year to finish.

    Lyrics
    All is quiet in my village
    But I can’t find my peace of mind
    Although the food here tastes like heaven
    And the past is left behind

    From the bakery to the market
    At last I walk a humane pace
    But slowing down is not enough
    Enough to stop the human race

    I fear for you my child
    In this uncertain world
    Nature escaping from our hands
    And the tame becoming wild

    All is quiet in my village
    But I can’t find my peace of mind
    Policemen beating activists
    For wanting a world less unkind

    Is it my own unsatisfaction
    Or is it something in the air
    Too many cries for help around us
    Happiness cannot be a private affair

    I fear for you my child
    In this uncertain world
    Nature escaping from our hands
    And the tame becoming wild

    All is quiet in my village
    But I can’t find my peace of mind
    Nuclear waste in our gardens
    Children playing with landmines

    Some prefer war to losing face
    Other solutions could be worse
    But couldn’t words fill out the space
    Between a bullet and a corpse

    I fear for you my child
    In this uncertain world
    Nature escaping from our hands
    And the tame becoming wild

    I fear for you my child
    In this unfaithful world
    Nature escaping from our hands
    And the tame becoming wild
