A Long Way Gone
Lyrics
Chorus
Sometimes I feel like tomorrow will not ever come
And, some days, that's just all right with me.
The battles rage on in the streets,
bitter smoke chokes a bloody sun
Today I hope;
(But) tomorrow never comes
Verse
Our only soccer ball is made of rags
torn from some old worn out flags
of countries no one remembers anymore.
I live to kick the winning goal
on fields free of blood and bombed out souls
Today I hope,
But tomorrow never comes.
Chorus
Verse
I wake up in the weary light,
step across the bodies from yesterday's fight,
There's nothing to pick over,
beg, borrow, or steal.
Some day I'll be far away from here,
I'll escape this prison of hate and fear.
Today I hope,
Tomorrow never comes.
When I dare to dream about tomorrow.
When I've thrown off the bloody chains of yesterday.
I Imagine things I could have been and all my childish hopes
seem such a long way gone
a long way gone
a long way gone
**
Why do you make war on the children?
Where have you sent my son?
How will you buy back all the tears of our daughters?
Tell me, what do you think you have won?
||: What do you think you have won? :||x4
******
Verse
I know my childish dreams can't last
little soldiers die or grow up fast
So you get yourself a gun and a reason to kill.
We live right on the edge of anger's knife
ready for death, wary of life
Today I hope, tomorrow never comes
