lyrics

These are the days of liars and fools
Time marches on and love’s long overdue
I’ve spent the hours searching for a sign
Of hope for the day, of truth redefined

There’s a little girl I see
Holding the hands of her mom and dad
Now those lives in this world
Have been all torn apart
Liars and fools often make this so

Make this a place for us all
Make this a world where it’s ok to fall
Open your heart to a child
Make this a world where it’s ok to smile
Before the end of our time
Make these the days of a world so divine

My eyes wide open
And now I see the whole sky
Bluer than blue
But here on the ground
Night falls

My eyes wide open
And now I see the whole sky
Bluer than blue
But here on the ground
Night falls

Hold me in your arms and here I find
You’re so
Cold and I know why
You think hope has lost
But hear me

There’s a brighter
Day on the way
Don’t you worry;
I’ll
Help you to fly
Hold on

Make this a place for us all
Make this a world where it’s ok to fall
Open your heart to a child
Make this a world where it’s ok to smile
Before the end of our time
Make these the days of a world so divine

Make this a place for us all
Make this a world where it’s ok to fall
Open your heart to a child
Make this a world where it’s ok to smile
Before the end of our time
Make these the days of a world so divine
