First Light

It’s the politics of fear, the world at arms
Those powerful men, in their ivory towers
It’s pain in the Middle East, fire in the citadels
Fame in America, missiles not medicine

And it keeps me awake at night (x 2)

First light so beautiful, deadly this morning
The taking of life, without any warning
Games in the Western World, flames in the Amazon
Sleaze in the government, greed that we're living on

And it keeps me awake at night (x 4)

And the girl at the corner, she's smiling at me
But I don't know how long she's got
As the soldiers all wonder just why they are here
When most of us act like they're not
And those rains never show 'til it's way too late
When the little that stood has been lost
But maybe you'll stand……..

Waiting for change, the tables to turn
The weak get their own back, the strong never learn

And it keeps me awake at night (x 4)
