Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Voices in your lonely ear say walk the straight and narrow
You make some bad connection when they call
Hiding out from the little lad and his famous poison arrow
Blind to where his idle shot may fall
Faded ghosts in photographs that ploughed a lonely furrow
Turn their tired faces to the wall
The iron kiss of sacrifice has chilled them to the marrow
It never had to be like that at all
And now the wolf's in the woods
And the children are heading for harm
But sometimes the wolf is just a false alarm
Sometimes the world just opens up its arms
Ah, we can make it right tonight
Ah, it's time our time began
Ah, no more shame or stupid games
We've gotta use this power while we can
While we can
No more lies or alibis, we can wipe the slate of sorrow
Morning's still a million miles away
This earth is only a harvest field, don't peck it like a sparrow
Make them scared of your hunger, seize the day
Oh, the wolf's in the woods
And the children are heading for harm
Sometimes the world is just a false alarm
Sometimes the world just opens up its arms
Ah, we can make it right tonight
Ah, it's time our time began
Ah, no more shame or stupid games
We've gotta use this power while we can
Ah, we can make it right tonight
Ah, it's time our time began
Ah, no more shame or stupid games
We've gotta use this power while we can
Ah
Ah
Ah
We've gotta use this power while we can
While we can
