Cruel Sun
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
See the bloody faces lifted to the sky
Do you want to run to a future left behind?
I remember asking why, there lies aggression.
Separation where there should be love
Power plays while the people die
Let it rain and protect us from this cruel sun
Let it rain and protect us from this cruel sun
I remember asking why, there lies aggression
Separation where there should be love
Power plays while the people die
I remember asking why, I remember asking why
I remember asking why, I remember asking why, why.
Open up your eyes, your eyes and let the child learn.
Open up your eyes, and let the child learn
Let it rain, and protect us from this cruel sun
Let it rain, and protect us from this cruel sun
Why does war kill only the small man?
Why does war kill only the small man?
I think we know, yes, we know
I think we know, know, know
I remember asking why.
I remember asking why.
I remember asking why.
Let it rain, and protect us from this cruel sun
Let it rain, and protect us from this cruel sun
Let it rain, and protect us from this cruel sun
Let it rain, and protect us from this cruel sun
