Shoulders bearing the weight of the world
And voices out of range
With heavy hearts behind closed doors
Waiting for something to change
Millions of big and small plans
Never seeing the light of day
Old feeling lost on their way back
But never dying away
The pieces of our broken hearts
How long will it be before they're put back together?
If ever
If ever
An old man is sitting under a tree
Remembering better times
The young ones are still running free
Though guilty of their crimes
And the promise of a brand new world
Still keeping the tears at bay
But the news from all corners of the globe
Says that peace is light years away
The pieces of our broken hearts
How long will it be before they're put back together?
If ever
If ever
