Hang out the flags a new world order's on the way. Start singing now a song to reach the joyful day. Just when we thought the time was right for celebrating. The music of the spheres. What's this another boat of fleeing refugees on a sea of childrens' tears. Once more the sound of crying. Is number one across the earth. Once more the sound of crying. Is number one across the earth. We're only men remember. Doin' what we can. Sometimes I think that God is working to a plan. Then other times I swear that He is improvising. Dischordant and remote. Another orphaned baby in a failed uprising. Another real bum note. Once more the sound of crying. Is number one across the earth. Once more the sound of crying. Is number one across the earth. Once more the sound of crying. Once more the sound of crying.... And if youre listening out there. You could consider this a prayer.... Well who am I to tell you how to run your business. When you could strike me blind. What kind of noise we gotta make down here. Before we destroy your peace of mind?. Once more the sound of crying. Is number one across the earth. Once more the sound of crying. Is number one across the earth. Once more the sound of crying. Once more the sound of crying.... And if youre listening out there. You could consider this a prayer.... The sound of crying...
