Darling, darling would you pleaseCome down to the riverWhere I wash my feetThe water runs coldOver soft blue stonesAnd the trees sing songsWhile the wind blows onCome on, sing ohSister, sister with your long faceCould you not find hopeIn this green of a placeThe worries of your worldNot the worries of your soulWe'll drink with our friendsTil the sun comes up againCome on, sing ohChildren, children we are taught to believeWe lose that faith, then we loose everythingCome on, come on with the war still goingWe could change their minds if we sing it this timeSongtexteChildren, children will you not soon beShooting bullets in the dark just to call yourselves freeI don't believe in the powers that beThey can claim their gods, but they steal and they rob from usAre we not raisedThinking money buys things that we needI believe, to this dayWoman on the streets, whispering to her feetDriven mad by a place full of noise and concreteWater brings life, I ask then whyDo we drink our streams dryClaiming all is well and rightI guess it is thenChildren, children we are taught to believeWe lose that faith, then we loose everythingCome on, come on with the war still goingWe could change their minds if we sing it this timeChildren, children will you not soon beShooting bullets in the dark just to call yourselves freeI don't believe in the powers that beThey can claim their gods, but they steal and they rob from us Aus Songtexte Mania
