Story Behind The Song

A news item on stunned children in the middle east war struggling to understand why they were being bombed.

Song Description

Just another protest song I guess!

Lyrics

BLIND MISSILES © 2006, Charles Harter

They say that love will conquer all in sight
Bring us peace and harmony
Well that sounds fine ? if it were
Only right!
But the truth is plain to see

And the people are still praying ?
to the God that they know is the real one
If only they all could agree
And the children are crying
And wondrn? what they could have done wrong
Awake in the night with bad dreams

They say that truth and justice will prevail
If we only wait and see
Well It seems the truth depends on ;
Who you are ? and what you think it ought to be

And the people are flocking ?
To the cause that they know is the right one
If only they all could agree
And the children are dying
And wondrin? why they have been chosen
But missiles at night cannot see

Won?t you tell me Tell me when will we dance
Didn?t John put it simply? Just give peace a chance

Won?t you tell me Tell me once more again
Didn?t Cat make an offer? Let?s ride that peace train

Won?t you tell me Tell me when will we learn?
Weren?t the flowers for young girls? Or did they miss their turn?

And the universal soldier Is still here today
And the wind is still blowing And it won?t go away

Won?t you tell me
Tell me when will we dance ?
