You tell me there's no darkness

While the sun shines down on you

And just because your life is peaceful

There's no fighting left to do

For every cup that runneth over

Many more are filled with pain

You talk to me of sunshine

When it's pouring down with rain



Just because you can't see it

Doesn't mean it isn't there

Just because it can't touch you

Doesn't mean you shouldn't care

For every life that's lit with love

Many more are racked with pain

You talk to me of sunshine

When it's pouring down with rain



(chorus)



It's a long black nightgood people

Descended on our land

Share your light

Make a flower grow

In the desert sand
