If you take the tears from crying eyes

Will the hurt just disappear

Put a weapon in the hand of a frightened man

Will he show no fear

So we stand and we watch while the city lights go out one by one

Mother Nature sits on the other side with a loaded gun



Why is there blue sky

Why is there red sky

Now's the time to ask the reason

Should the blue sky

Meet the red sky

Should the rules have to change at all

We all know whatever they say

Time is on our side

This world has been here before just going round and round and round



We all agree as far as we can see

It's just the way of the world

That's how it's meant to be

There's right and there's wrong

There's weak and there's strong

It's just the way of the world

And that's how it's meant to be



Take the motion from a spinning wheel and watch it stop

Take the danger out of a naked flame and what have you got

If you take the anger out of a broken heart, you feel no pain

Could you swear if you had that second chance you wouldn't do it again



Why is there blue sky

Why is there red sky

Now's the time to ask the reason

Should the blue sky

Meet the red sky

Should the rules have to change at all

We all know whatever they say

Time is on our side

This world has been here before just going round and round and round



We all agree as far as we can see

It's just the way of the world

That's how it's meant to be

There's right and there's wrong

There's weak and there's strong

It's just the way of the world

And that's how it's meant to be
