Underneath the blackened skies
Man has come to ravage life
There will be no sleep tonight
For the children of this plight
Another scream something falls
Drowning out the helpless calls
There will be no sleep tonight
Only blood-stained human right
If only I could fly, I would fly
So far away from here
Home is where I lost my heart
Left behind and blown apart
There will be no sleep tonight
While the bombs are taking life
Innocence is laid to waste
Lone survivors then displaced
There will be no sleep tonight
No escape no shinning light
If only I could fly, I would fly
So far away from here
A nation down on bended knee
Begging someone grants this plea
There'll be no sleep tonight
If only I could fly
I would fly
So far away from here
So far away from here
