(written by Julia Fordham/Irwin Levine/Russell Brown)



tie a yellow ribbon round your heart

counted every moment we're apart

it's been five long years

since you've been here

tie a yellow ribbon



beyond the realm of dignity

beyond imagination, please forgive me

how long, how long, how long, how long will it be?

it's a tragedy



tie a yellow ribbon round your heart

counted every moment we're apart

it's been five long years

since you've been here

tie a yellow ribbon



what happened to humanity?

there is no understanding such insanity

hold on, hold on, hold on please if you can

in that troubled land



tie a yellow ribbon round your heart

counted every moment we're apart

it's been five long years

since you've been here

tie a yellow ribbon

round your heart
