Where are the sweet dreams
when bombs shake bedroom walls
Where are the lullabies
when babies are too sick to crawl
Where are the soft caresses
when lovers go off to war
What does life offer us
when we're crumpled on the floor
Where are the good things
you promised in this world
Where are the hugs and kisses
to every boy and girl
Where is the bountiful food
that mother earth provides
Where are the sweet dreams
at night when I close my eyes
