Lyrics
Never Again
© 2005 Bruce Mills (ASCAP)
Out from the darkest of all ages
Mighty horsemen come
Nights are filled with lightening - brighter than the sun:
But children sing - oh children sing
About a world of love and beauty -
Slowly torn apart
Hearts turning into stone - so little mercy shown
The children sing - they always sing
Chorus
Oh - Listen to their voices like angels in the sky
You can see the tears shining in their eyes
They do not understand suffering, bitterness and pain
But how they sing - never again / never again
The sun will rise again tomorrow - yes -
The past will fade away -
From ashes of destruction - there comes a brand new day
The children sing - never again
Never again, never again, never again, never again
Never again, never again, never again - the children sing
Chorus
Oh listen to the chorus - the children's voices rise
You can see the tears shining in their eyes
They don't understand the suffering and pain
But how they sing - never again
For this old world to reach fulfilment
And not a sorry end
Listen to the children now / join them as they sing
Never again - never again
Never again, never again, never again, never again
Someday the children might forgive us
For all the wrong we've done - but
Nothing's ever going to change - Until we all can sing -
Never again - never again chazor (remember or chazor is whispered)
