Oh, I heard the news today
About the peace that went astray
How the truth gets in the way
Thatu0027s how it goes

For the hope we dare to hold
Freedom again will shine like gold
We will rise if truth be told
And say it loud

The broken sky pours down the pain
One more time they board the trains
Broken cities, broken canes
Thatu0027s how it goes

For every lie thatu0027s bought and sold
Freedom again will shine like gold
We will rise if truth be told
And say it loud

Teddy bear with blood stain
Portrait in a shattered frame
The same sad song again
Thatu0027s how it goes

For the dead laid row on row
An endless line of candles glow
The innocent must trade their clothes
For a shroud

Come a time when they may learn
The whirlwind sown, the countries burn
The Masters fall, each in their turn
Thatu0027s how it goes

Oh, I read the news today
About the love that went astray
How the truth gets in the way
Thatu0027s how it goes
