Sometimes it seems
that you've had more than enough.
As your life is going nowhere,
and you feel like giving up.
Sometimes you know
that you can't take anymore.
When things are getting harder
than they've ever been before.
Don't lose your heart when things go wrong.
You know what to do now.
Just turn your back and carry on, come on.
Reach for the sky.
Come out with your hands up.
Reach for the sky.
Come out with your hands up.
Sometimes it seems
like you've really lost your way.
When you're mind is full of doubt,
you've got nothing left to say.
You're going 'round in circles
like a man who's running blind.
But the world must keep on turning,
and it's leaving you behind.
Don't lose your heart when things go wrong.
You know what to do now.
You've got the strength to carry on, come on.
Reach for the sky.
Come out with your hands up.
Reach for the sky.
Come out with your hands up.
Reach for the sky.
Reach for the sky.
Reach for the it.
Don't lose your heart when things go wrong.
You know what to do now.
You've got the strength to carry on, come on.
Reach for the sky.
Come out with your hands up.
Reach for the sky.
Come out with your hands up.
Reach for the sky.
Come out with your hands up.
Reach for the sky.
Come out with your
hands up, hands up, hands up.
Reach for the sky.
Reach for the sky.
Reach for the sky.
Reach for the sky.
Mama take a look at your boy,
he's a military man.
Papa take a look at your boy,
he's crying.
Papa take a look at your boy,
he's a soldier.
Mama take a look in his eyes,
they're colder.
Papa take a look at your boy,
he's a military man.
Mama take a look at your boy,
he's dying.
Papa take a look at your boy,
he's fighting.
Mama take a look at your boy,
he's frightened.
They have trained your boy to kill,
and kill some day he will.
They have trained your boy to die
and ask no questions why.
Papa take a look at your boy,
take a look at your boy,
take a look at your boy.
He's a killer, yeah.
Mama take a look at your boy,
take a look at him now,
take a look at your boy.
He's a soldier, he's colder, he's older, mama.
Mama take a look at your boy,
obey the order.
Mama take a look at your boy,
like a lamb to slaughter.
They have trained your boy to kill,
and kill some day he will.
They have trained your boy to die
and ask no questions why.
One day I will write for you a lovesong, mother.
As the children say: "I love you", please hold me.
And you and I, we will live our life together.
Until that day when we die, I will love you, mother.
I will always love you.
I am writing from this war.
Oh mama, I don't know what I'm fighting for.
And have you seen my children?
God bless them, kiss them,
and tell them that I miss them.
See I'm frightened in the dark,
mama, mama.
The blood is ankle deep.
They have trained your boy to kill,
and kill someday he will.
They have trained your boy to die.
Papa take a look at your boy,
take a look at your boy,
take a look at your boy.
He's marching,
he's a soldier.
Oh mama, oh mama.
He's on the street.
He's marching to the backbeat.
Loneliness is your only friend
A broken heart that just won't mend is the price you pay.
It's hard to take when love grows old,
The days are long and the nights turn cold when it fades away.
You hope that she will change her mind
But the days drift on and on
You'll never know the reason why - she's gone.
Empty rooms - where we learn to live without love
Empty rooms - where we learn to live without love
You see her face in every crowd,
You hear her voice but you're still proud so you turn away.
You tell yourself that you will be strong,
But your heart tells you - this time you're wrong.
Empty rooms - where we learn to live without love
Empty rooms - where we learn to live without love
Empty rooms - where we learn to live without love
You hope that she will change her mind
But the days drift on and on
You'll never know the reason why - she's gone.
Empty rooms - where we learn to live without love
Empty rooms - where we learn to live without love
Empty rooms - where we learn to live without love
Oh no in an empty room
Loneliness is your only friend
Oh she's gone
And your happ'ning end
You're out of reach, you're out of touch.
This time baby you've run out of love.
You're out of sight, you're out of mind.
Another heartache I've left behind.
It doesn't make any difference
where you go from here.
Too many times you've been running
I was here, over and over again.
Well, I've got you out of my system.
I've got you out of my soul.
We've been through this a thousand times.
Too many partners for your perfect crimes.
You turned your back when I was down.
Well, this time baby I won't be around.
It doesn't make any difference
what you do or say.
This time it's over forever.
I'm on my way,
don't wanna see you again.
Well, I've got you out of my system.
I've got you out of my soul.
Well, I've got you out of my system.
And now I'm right outside your control.
It doesn't make any difference
where you go from here.
Too many times you've been running
I was here, over and over again.
Well, I've got you out of my system.
I've got you out of my soul.
Well, I've got you out of my system, out of my system.
And now I'm right outside your control.
I've got you out of my system.
Well, I've got you out of my system.
Out of my system.
I've got you out of my soul.
Out of my soul.
Well, I've got you out of my system.
Out of my system.
And now I'm right outside your control.
It doesn't matter
If you're wrong or if you're right
It makes no difference
If you're black or if you're white
All men are equal
Till the victory is won
No colour or religion
Ever stopped the bullet from a gun
Out in the fields
The fighting has begun
Out on the streets
They're falling one by one
Out from the skies
A thousand more will die each day
Death is just a heartbeat away
It doesn't matter
If you're left or to the right
Don't try to hide behind the cause
That which you fight
There'll be no prisoners taken
When the day is done
No flag, no uniform
Ever stopped the bullet from a gun
Out in the fields
The fighting has begun
Out on the streets
They're falling one by one
Out from the skies
A thousand more will die each day
Death is just a heartbeat away
There's no communication
No one to take the blame
The cries of every nation
They're falling on deaf ears again
Out in the fields
Out in the fields
They're falling one by one
Out in the fields
No flag has ever stopped
The bullet from a gun
Death is just a heartbeat away
Out in the fields
A heartbeat away
Out in the fields
Death is just a heartbeat away
Out in the fields
A heartbeat away
Out in the fields
In the fields
The fighting has begun
Out on the streets
They're falling one by one
Out from the skies
A thousand more will die each day
