Mother's goodbye to her little son Crying in the rain and falling bones Father is young but deep and wise You see the fight inside his eyes Hold me, cover my side This is no paradise Don't show me evil sides of the world How many hours and how many days Love is just slipping away How many seasons and how many years in tears How many centuries and how many lives in fear People selling flowers like nothing's going on Turning their backs on a world gone wrong Children play around, I guess they found some peace You see them running down the naked fields Hold me, cover my side This is no paradise Don't show me evil sides of the world How many hours and how many days Love is just slipping away How many seasons and how many years in tears How many centuries and how many lives in fear How many hours and how many days Love is just slipping away How many seasons and how many years in tears How many centuries and how many lives in fear How many centuries and how many years in tears
