Текст песни: The Luxury of Despair + перевод

The translucent light of another pre dawn

Squints her eyes and prepares to walk on

From Hebron’s stone to Nazareth’s hill

There’s hope in the eyes of the hopeless still

Some walls fall that come from love

All walls fall that come from hate

Poking and pushing to make folk bite

Houses torn down by the military might

People want to live people want to roam

People want to dream people need a home

But rage in the eye won’t let in light

Love makes a better job of the fight

As the sun rises in my children’s eyes

I don’t have the luxury, the luxury of despair

As the night rips stars across this ancient sky

I don’t have the luxury, the luxury of despair

See through the eyes of a blameless child

Suffer they do to come to you

There’s a bike in the road where it shouldn’t be

A twelve year old taken into custody

Scared and scarred and stripped of rights

What the eyes don’t see the mind can’t fight

You just don’t do that but you just do

Sometimes I want to

As the sun rises in my children’s eyes

I don’t have the luxury, the luxury of despair

As the night rips stars across this ancient sky

I don’t have the luxury, the luxury of despair

Let’s sit together in that sacred place

I won’t grace you with the passion of fear and dread

Just look me in the eye and see my heart

I’ll look you in the eye and see your heart

Just look me in the eye and see my heart

Plant trees of life and bury the dead

And if the cockerel crowed what would I deny?

I’d hope any tyranny that me my eye

Or the right of domain over the mind of a man

And the lie that we cannot be equal or free

For this wall’s divide has another side and a deep blue sea

That was made for you and me

As the sun rises in my children’s eyes

I don’t have the luxury, the luxury of despair

As the night rips stars across this ancient sky

I don’t have the luxury, the luxury of despair
