Story Behind the Song
A track of land, a parcel of dirt, a pool of oil, a hill of gold; collateral damage, acceptable loss, conflict from conflict, retaliation for retaliation, a village for a soul, wars and rumours of wars....and, still, we've yet to find the human aspect amid the human condition. "I sometimes wonder how we can retain the will to suffice at times like this; we have to....because that's how the song goes."
Lyrics
I've been holding onto a heartbeat that takes my breath away
Tell me, darlin', what's your heart say? Take this pain away
Tell me, have we lost our way?
Gone to where the four winds play
I've been holding on too hard, babe, tryin' to save today
Tell me, darlin', what's your heart say? Can we find a way?
Another bomb was left today; blowing all our blues away
Falling, falling
Silence calling
Falling all away
I've been watching everyday, now, as the nations play
Soldiers walking, leaders talking.... Make 'em go away
