From the recording The First Move
Lyrics
I’ve been living here for all of my life
Watch the sunset over the mountainside
As the moon rises up a quiet comes over the day
I’m living in a ghost town everybody’s gone away
I cry for a more peaceful time
Our desperation is burning out of control
This devastation is eating up G-d’s souls
The walls have crumbled down there no more fields to hoe
You’d want to get away if you only had a place to go
Haven’t heard from your brother in almost four whole days
You’re starting to think that he might have nothing left to say
I cry for a more peaceful time
Our desperation is burning out of control
This conflagration is eating up G-d’s souls
We’d sit down together if only they’d let us try
We’re not that different our families you and I
So I’ll watch the sunrise over the moutainside
Think of all that was lost the many who have died
We’ll both pray for our fields once more to grow
We can throw away our tools of hate and beat them into hoes
I won’t have to cry for a more peaceful time
