there are not words to speak of

there are not words to say

there are not songs to sing on

news days like today



there's only time to carry

these darkest doubts away

there's only hope to cling to

on days like today



should hang our heads in shame

what we've done in god's name

should hang our heads in shame

only ourselves to blame



there are not dreams or feelings

that could seem to convey

there are not songs to sing on

news days like today



should hang our heads in shame

what we've done in god's name

should hang our heads in shame

only ourselves to blame



maybe I'm naive, I still believe in peace
