1. The sparrows and the nightingales [Extended] (6:46)
How long have you been free
In this world of hate and greed
Is it black or is it white
Let's find another compromise
And our future standing still
We're dancing in the spotlight
Where's the leader who leads me
I'm still waiting
Leaving home
And god is on your side
Dividing sparrow from the nightingales
Watching all the time
Dividing water from the burning fire...
Insight
Leave a light on in the night for me
that I can find you
Remember when we both were young and reckless
and so curious
Now you're hiding from your child...
and not day's dawning
Remember that you felt alive sometimes
And god is on your side
Dividing cruelty from tenderness
Watching all the time
Dividing fiction from reality
Move in circles walk on lines
No human being in sight
Calm the winds and calm the seas
Let's try another kind of peace
Who fights this holy civil war
A million men in uniform
Wo ist der Führer der mich führt
Ich warte immernoch
And god is on your side
Dividing presence from history
Watching all the time
Dividing deaf men from the listening ones
Leave a light on...
And god is on your side
Dividing soldiers from the fisher men
Watching all the time
Dividing warships from the ferry boats
