Quiet Heart Lyrics

When the shouting stops and the bombs have dropped

And the leaders of hate have pulled down the gates

I skipped away and watch the walls get higher

As the liars lead the fools outside the city gates

I long for the silence of quiet heart

And wait for the dust to settle on this world

Sometimes I can't believe what I see

But I see it every day

Power in the hands of so few

They care nothing for the weak and even less for those who disagree

We think we own the world and the ground under our feet

We are all black, white immigrants of another land

I long for the silence of quiet heart

And wait for the dust to settle on this world

Sometimes I can't believe what I see

But I see it every day

Sometimes I wish I could fly

Soar above the clouds and into the dark skies

Escape the world and all the madness

Dream of hope and take away the sadness

I'm staring at the universe

Black holes, white light, red stars and supernovas

And the stars look very different tonight

And the stars look very different tonight

And the stars look very different tonight

And the stars look very different tonight
