Black Ribbons (Voices Of The World)
A typical day, a thursday in Spain
Before the shower of tears and rain
Sweet gentle souls, riding the train
To work in the morning
To all of the hearts and innocent lifes
We light a candle in the night
An eternal flame to a moment that came
Without a warning
We can't predict the course of life or where the madness starts
What will it take to soothe the wounded hearts
Voices of the world rise today in prayer
We're flying out black ribbons to show the world we care
United by our love and the sorrow that we share
They'll know us by the ribbons, black ribbons that we wear
What can you say, how can you feel
How can a thousand families heal
When missiles of rage and misguided schemes
Are still in the making
The most that we can ever do is grieve with all our heart
And hold the torch of freedom in the dark
Voices of the world rise today in prayer
We're flying out black ribbons to show the world we care
United by our love and the sorrow that we share
They'll know us by the ribbons, black ribbons that we wear
Strike the chords that never die
Sing a song of faith
Toll the bells that free the world
Stop this crimes of pain
Lord give us the faith
Voices of the world rise today in prayer
We're flying out black ribbons to show the world we care
United by our love and the sorrow that we share
We're bond as one by ribbons and all the grace we're given
They'll know us by the ribbons, black ribbons that we wear
