you tell me there´s no darkness
while the sun shines down on you
and just because your life is peaceful
there´s no fighting left to do
for every cup that runneth over
many more are filled with pain
you talk to me of sunshine
when it´s pouring down with rain

just because you can´t see it
doesn´t mean it isn´t there
just because it can´t touch you
doesn´t mean you shouldn´t care
for every life that´s lit with love
many more are racked with pain
you talk to me of sunshine
when it´s pouring down with rain


(chorus)

it´s a long black night, good people
descended on our land
share your light
make a flower grow
in the desert sand
