The Sparrows and the Nightingales (Extended) Lyrics

How long have you been free
In this world of hate and greed?
Is it black? Or is it white?
Let's find another compromiseAnd our future's standing still
We're dancing in the spotlight
Where is the leader who leads me?
I'm still waitingLeaving home and God is on your side
Dividing sparrows from the nightingales
Watching all the time
Dividing water from the burning fire insideAnd god is on your side
Dividing cruelty from tenderness
Watching all the time
Dividing fiction from realityMove in circles walk on lines
No human being in sight
Calm the winds
And calm the seasLets try another kind of peace
Who fights this Holy civil war?
A million men in uniformWo ist der führer der mich führt?

Ich warte immer nochAnd God is on your side
Dividing presence from the history
Watching all the time
Dividing deaf men from the listening onesLeave a light on in the night for me
That, I can find you
Remember when we both where young
And reckless and so curiousNow you're hiding from your child
A new day's dawning
Remember that you felt alive
SometimesAnd God is on your side
Dividing soldiers from the fisherman
Watching all the time
Dividing warships from the ferryboats
