Lyrics
KISS GOODBYE TO THE WORLD
A child is born and a man must die
From a shadow hear his soul begin to cry
I left this place and I never tried
Now I must kiss goodbye to the world
Annie calls won't you spare a single dime
She looks so strong but there's hopelessness inside
One fine day she must take that final ride
And she must kiss goodbye to the world
Women scream as the men they still make war
Point their guns at a child left on the floor
Planes direct misiles overhead
And they must Kiss Goodbye to the world
A man lies bleeding in a war he thought was just
For king and country, did what others though he must
Where's their thoughts amidst the smell of blood and dust
And they must kiss goodbye to the world
Spare a thought for their lives are doomed
But for the grace of god, could be me and you
It's a sober thought when the darkness looms
And I must kiss goodbye to the world
A child is born and a man must die
There's something wrong when you hear the angels cry
'Cos a million years it's the blink of an eye
We must kiss goodbye to the world
Kiss goodbye,Kiss goodbye, Kiss goodbye
We must kiss goobye to the world
