Cover of Leonard Cohen song - Played at Live 8 2005 Like a bird on a wire Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free. Like a worm on a hook, Like a knight from some old fashioned book I have saved all my ribbons for thee. And if I, if I've been unkind I hope that you let it go by And if I, if I've been untrue I hope you know it was never for you. Like a baby, stillborn Like Africa, without any hope Its time that we make this up to you And I swear that we're wrong we're good people, we have done wrong and its time that we make this up to you And I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch He said to me, why don't we ask for so much A pretty woman leaning in her darkened door She said to me, we should ask for more And i swear by this song We're good people, we have done wrong And Africa, well its time we made this up to you Aus Songtexte Mania
