Lyrics The Echoing Green

The Echoing Green

The Sparrows and the Nightingales

How long have you been free

In this world of hate and greed

Is it black or is it white

Let's find another compromise

And our futures standing still

We're dancing in the spotlight

Where is the leader who leads me

I'm still waiting...

Leaving home...

And God is on your side

Dividing sparrows from the nightingales

Watching all the time

Dividing water from the burning fire... inside

Move in circles walk on lines no human being in sight

Calm the winds and calm the seas

Lets try another kind of peace

Who fights this holy civil war

A million men in uniform

Wo ist der führer der mich führt?

Ich warte immer noch...!

Leaving home...

And God is on your side

Dividing cruelty from tenderness

Watching all the time

Dividing fiction from reality

God is on your side...

And God is on your side

Dividing presence from our history

Watching all the time

Dividing deaf men from the listening ones

And God is on your side

Dividing soldiers from the fisherman

Watching all the time

Dividing warships from the ferryboats

God is on your side...
