Lyrics

Wind is in the east
Stare at us eyes in wonder
Like beggars at a feast
We can't even, count the number
What you gonna do?
Send them table scraps we're leaving
One who care are few
Most spend there time, with useless meaning

Dear father
Do you think that it will be alright?
Tell me mother
Will we make it through?
We make it through the hungry night

Somewhere in the west
Gold teeth, but sometime is gleaming
We know we are the best
Even know, the beasts lie screaming
We've got power to spare
A new clear day
Is dawning they say
But tell us, don't you dare
The piper has a price that we pay

Dear preacher
Do you think that we'll see the light?
Tell me teacher
Well we make it through?
We make it through the darkest night

Two faces in the south
The first one has a look of
With fine words in his mouth
His heart is black
As ghetto chimneys

What you gonna do?
To hide the shame
Contain their anger
What you gonna say?
You walk the line, of constant danger

Dear brother
You think we'll have to stand and fight?
Tell me sister, will we make it through?
We make it through the longest night

Dear father
Do you think it's gonna be alright?
Tell me teacher
Do you think that we'll see the light?
Tell me brother
You think we'll have to stand and fight?
Tell me sister
Will we make it through?
Make it through the longest night
