Judy Collins

Song for Sarajevo (Revised 9/97)
There's no where to hide, no where I can go I reach out my hand touching death itself just another holy day in Sarejevo Hiding from the planes and from the bombing Fire in the sky burning down my life There is no more love no more longing I dream of Peace I dream of flowers on the hill I dream I see my mother smiling When I close my eyes I dream of Peace SongtexteOnce my mother sang to me and held me Then the fire came falling from the sky There is no one left who can protect me Feeding on the dreams of all the children War's an evil bird flying in the dark Every holy promise has been broken I dream of Peace I dream of flowers on the hill I dream I see my mother smiling When I close my eyes I dream of Peace You are tall and strong and I am just a child. Can't we live in a peace stop the flowing blood Make a blessed world where I can be a child. Do you dream of Peace? Do you dream of flowers on the hill? Do you dream you see your mother smiling? When you close your eyes do you dream of Peace? You have struggled here in Sarajevo Courage you have shown to the watching world We have prayed and wept for Sarajevo Children dance again in Sarajevo Now the sun can shine Now the birds can sing Let the peace continue, Sarajevo Do you dream of Peace? Do you dream of flowers on the hill? Do you dream you see your mother smiling? When you close your eyes do you dream of Peace? Aus Songtexte Mania
