We've come a long wayOn the road to nowhereWe've lost our sacred groundAnd we've got to go thereFlowers in our garden diedStrange fruit is on the vineWe live in castles made of sandWhat we make we take with the other handIt's not so hard to understandWe hold the future in our handsLife's a short ropeA roller coaster rideOnce round on a crazy horseA fast flowing river to the other sideIt's not so hard to understandWe hold the future in our handsCome on people, let's come togetherWe will make one heartWe will mend our broken promisesStop the thingsThat tear our world apartCould all this be a dreamFrom which we will awakeCould all this be a lessonTo learn from our mistakes
