old friends

[tbaqmn]

How much time will you need
To understand someone ?
How much time will you need
To open yours arms to someone
Who asks for it with his eyes ?

How much time will you need to be able to feel
When somebody near you is trying to die ?

Welcome to you, my friends ! Welcome to you, my enemies !
Welcome to all those people who i once knew !
Welcome to all women and children ! The war is over.

How much time will you need
To understand that we don't know what tomorrow holds
But that today you are welcome to stay
Stop thinking about the people who go by and stay with us tonight !
How much time will you need to understand that we are just humans
And that everybody needs a human touch.

Since a long time ago, we have fought so many wars.
We stole and killed because we had got not choice.
In the middle of this world, we were just kids trying to survive.
Now, times have changed ; now, no one will hurt you.
We are just like old friends who want to spend a moment together.

There's no more time to let the wind blow us away.
Let the past take a ride and say good bye !
All that you desire, you've got it.
Just open your arms and you'll be free again !
Come with us ! let the new sunshine brighten up our lives !
Come with us ! let the new sunshine brighten up our days.
