Sunflowers Lyrics

In the night the city trembles

The children cry beneath their sheets

In the sky the planes are roaring

The jets are flown by scared young men

Fooled again

Generations mirror war

Pleading, "What's it for?"

Echoes bleed into the soil

Below bright sunflowers

A grandma holds a fresh sunflower

And memories of her parents' plight

Upon this land when they were children

An evil man sent scared young men

To do his sin

The children hide inside a tunnel

Deep underground, beneath the streets

Upon the roads, the tanks are rolling

They're driven by scared young men

Fooled again

In the ground are laid the bodies

That will give life to bright sunflowers
