The Sparrows and the Nightingales - The Echoing Green

The Sparrows and the Nightingales 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 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... insideMove 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 fhrer der mich fhrt?
Ich warte immer noch...!Leaving home...
And God is on your side

Dividing cruelty from tenderness
Watching all the time
Dividing fiction from realityGod 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 onesAnd God is on your side
Dividing soldiers from the fisherman
Watching all the time
Dividing warships from the ferryboatsGod is on your side...
