MOTU

In the bright morning light you can see fog rising

While the streets fill with lost refugees

I can’t understand how we came to be here

I don’t understand how this came to be

Take my hand Melinda we got some walkin to keep

A long way to go before we can sleep

Then you can close your eyes and dream of a better tomorrow

Close your eyes and dream of a better day

And I know it’s so hard, so hard for you baby

Your childhood games have been taken away

I never wanted you to see these things so fast

I never wanted you to grow up so fast

So take my hand Melinda we got some walkin to keep

A long way to go before we can sleep

And you can close your eyes and dream of a better tomorrow

Close your eyes and dream of a better day

A better day, better day. Dream of a better day.

I once had a job, employed with steady pay.

I never thought it could be taken away

I always thought we’d have a roof above our heads

I never thought we would need a shelter for our beds

So take my hand Melinda we got some walkin to keep

A long way to go before we can sleep

You can close your eyes and dream of a better tomorrow

Close your eyes and dream of a better day

And you can close your eyes and dream of a better tomorrow

You can close your eyes and dream of a better day
