The Human Family Band - 'The Bloody Road to Love'

when all the bombs are dropped
all bullets shot
bodies buried in cemeteries
when all killing stops
we’ll hang our heads in shame
we really were to blame
it was so unnecessary
this bloody road to love

when are buildings rebuilt
all trauma healed
those who survived
learn the beauty of this life
the only thing to say
wasn’t it a waste
how we lost our way
on the bloody road to love

come a day let the sunshine blow your mind
come a day let colours flood your eyes
when you come out of the fall out shelter
the nightmare gone let dreams take over
come a day time we’ll wake up in the light in the light

let history books recall
the horrors of it all
aswe were decieved
by ruling power elites
as it all went down
we hid underground
listened above
to the bloody road to love

come a day when human kind unites
come a day when we’re turning out the night
come reclaim the spirit
take the light stand within it
come a day it’s time for us to shine
