Greenwood |
| I’ve seen a thousand people kneel in silence |
| And I’ve seen them face the rifles with their songs |
| I always thought that we could end the killing |
| But now I live in fear that I was wrong |
| The killer and the cynic waltz together |
| Their eyes are turned into their skulls |
| They do not feel the bullets in the bodies |
| They do not hear the dolphins or the gulls |
| If we do these things in the greenwood |
| What will happen in the dry? |
| If we don’t stop there’ll come a time when women |
| With barren wombs will bitterly rejoice |
| With breasts that dry and never fill with promise |
| Gladly they’ll not suckle one more life |
| Is this then the whimper and the ending? |
| The impotence of people raised on fear |
| A fear that blinds the sense of common oneness |
| Common love and life or death are here |
| If we do these things in the greenwood |
| What will happen in the dry? |
| Will no one light the candle in the darkness |
| Will no one be my guide, not let me fall |
| I’ve lost the sense that tells me where the path is |
| I feel the chill of winter in my soul |
| There’s no way I can say the words more plainly |
| There’s no one left to point at anymore |
| It’s you and me and we must make the choice now |
| And not destroy the life we’re living for |
| If we do these things in the greenwood |
| What will happen in the dry? |
| If we do these things in the greenwood |
| What will happen in the dry? |
