I have seen the diamond stylus

Cut a groove from north to south

Heard them calling from the islands for a better day

One by one they tell their stories

One by one it's just the same

They've taken our leaders

And all our believers are paralized

Now we can't turn back...

Somebody is watching you

Don't turn round

Yesterday is gone!

And even the children are waking at midnight in tears....

Mother mother mother......



Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun

Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun



Looking out my bedroom window

I remember early days

When the shot that wounded millions took our breath away

But now the shadow of a gunman

With his balaclava eyes

Is making the news

Calling out the warnings on the telephone

You're in the line of fire

Wish there was another way

Line of fire

Anything goes

And who is the winner and what will the minister say

At the end of the day?

Never never never.....



Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun

Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun



Mother mother mother....



Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun

Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun

Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun

Hush child, do not weep

It's only the sound of a world on the run

You're hearing the sound of a gun
