Sting - Another Day Lyrics
Every day that goes byA new hungry baby starts to cryBorn astride a painful graveDrowned in hungers tidal wavePick a child that you can saveItd be the only oneIf africa escapes starvationNot only food but educationThe desert grows with every minuteTrapping everybody in itAll the children look the sameThey wonder why they cameBut its hard to tell the poison from the cureIts harder still to know the reason why, why, whyThe only thing I really know for sureIs that another day, another days gone byEvery day that goes byA brand new missile points towards the skyWere survivors of a game of chanceBeneath an arms race avalancheIf you survive this winters coldYoud be the only oneIf we escape annihilationNot only hope but educationThe world is ruled by bellophilesAdding to their weapon pilesImagine what your taxes buyWe hardly ever tryBut its hard to tell the poison from the cureIts harder still to know the reason why, why, whyThe only thing I really know for sureIs that another day, another days gone by, bye,byeThat this too solid fleshWould melt and resolve into a dewSuffocating lassitudeDrowning in my platitudeTrapped by insecuritiesIm not the only oneIf I survive this dislocationHave to use my educationChief of inactivityWasted creativityDistances our revolutionSilence is consentBut its hard to tell the poison from the cureIts harder still to know the reason why, why, whyThe only thing I really know for sureIs that another day, another days gone by
