Текст песни: The Way It Was Before + перевод

Let us light a candle here tonight

Like a shining star so bright

Let the guns of distant fighting seize

Let us sound the bells of peace

Cause everywhere around us people are afraid

Doors are locked and guarded

Hearts are filled with hate

We don’t know what we are doing

We don’t know anymore

But we know that life should be

The way it was before

Let us put our differences aside

Make the battlefields all white

No one is wrong but no one is right

Can we just be friends tonight?

There is hungry children crying

Cold and left alone

While somewhere else a child is safe inside a happy home

We’re deaf at what history had taught us all along

Now we all wish life could be the way it was before

Let us sing the song that we all know

Sing it loud so all will know

Let us dance together hand in hand

Millions ride across the land

Let the children’s voices fill this winter night

And the wings of freedom once again take flight

Cause everywhere around us

People are afraid

Doors are locked and guarded

Hearts are filled with hate

We are deaf at what history had taught us all along

Now we all wish life could be the way it was before

We don’t know what we are doing

We don’t know anymore

But we know that life should be the way it was before

The way it was before
