lyrics

There's a bird up high
There's a dove on the ground
You know I found love long ago
Every time your voice would sound...

I'm coming in fast
To your heart to land
My last approach
But my best command

And in my dreams
I'm light as a feather
The streets are clean
And we all stand together

There's an empty sky
Where only stars can shine
They shine all night long
Between the buildings and the signs

There's a dove on the ground
There's a scar on a tree
There's a picture on a wall
And there's you and me standing free

And in my dreams
I'm light as a feather
The streets are clean
And we all stand together
And in my dreams
I'm light as a feather
The streets are clean and quiet
And we all stand together
We all stand together
We all stand together...

Who is your friend?
Who is the monster?
Who is the priest?
Who is the abuser?
Where is the killer?
Where is the child?
Who’s got the facts?
Who’s told the lies?
Where is the mother?
Where is the son?
In a pile of rubble - never hurt anyone
(And we all stand together)
