Lyrics
Poison in the water Poison in the Air
Poison in our heads but we don't seem to care
We don?t want to call a spade a spade
Look at all the mess we?ve made around here
Oh, Oh,
War in the desert, War at home
War in the very house you and I have outgrown
Terror is as Terror does
Oh why Oh why, because because of fear
I wish I could fly
All the way to you
I would start to see things through
I would write a letter to the highest power
To make this change
Change in the weather Change in my mind
Everything is changin? all the time
The only thing that we can say
With certainty won?t go away is change
(You?re in the thick of it now my friend
Oh I wish you well
On the brink where words simply cannot tell
Hard to believe hard to cope Hard to know
Oh Oh)
There?s hope in the desert I hope you can see
It's in your eyes when you mirror me
Hope is growin? in the treas and sending seeds off in the breeze
I can see them fly.....
To you and when they land,
They will grow in the sand
Where you lay and when you wake
They will shelter you
They will shelter over you
