(热歌公司) [00:21.21]They say the skies of Lebanon are burning, [00:25.59] [00:26.53]Those mighty Cedars bleeding in the heat, [00:30.51] [00:31.70]They're showing pictures on the Television, [00:36.02] [00:36.85]Women and children dying in the street, [00:40.86] [00:43.36]And we're still at it in our own place, [00:47.30]Still trying to reach the future through the past, [00:51.44] [00:52.42]Still trying to carve tomorrow from a tombstone... [00:58.18] [00:59.33]But hey ! Don't listen to me ! [01:01.82]This wasn't meant to be no sad song, [01:05.38] [01:06.85]We've heard too much of that before, [01:09.81] [01:12.09]Right now I only want to be here with you, [01:16.59]Till the morning dew comes fall [01:19.83]Ing, [01:21.12] [01:22.17]I want to take you to the Island, [01:26.75] [01:27.72]And trace your footprints in the sand, [01:30.76] [01:32.91]And in the evening when the sun goes down, [01:37.42]We'll make love to the sound of the ocean. [01:42.59] [01:49.91]They're raising banners over by the markets, [01:54.29] [01:55.10]Whitewashing slogans on the shipyard walls, [01:59.32] [02:00.38]Witchdoctors praying for a mighty showdown, [02:04.76] [02:05.63]No way our holy flag is gonna fall, [02:09.53] [02:12.10]Up here we sacrifice our children, [02:16.07]To feed the worn out dreams of yesterday, [02:20.36] [02:21.31]And teach them dying will lead us into glory...

[02:30.60]This wasn't meant to be no sad song, [02:34.20] [02:35.51]We've heard too much of that before, [02:38.27] [02:40.82]Right now I only want to be here with you, [02:45.31]Till the morning dew comes falling [02:50.04] [02:51.78]I want to take you to the Island, [02:55.49] [02:56.40]And trace your footprints in the sand, [02:59.33] [03:01.65]And in the evening when the sun goes down, [03:06.11]We'll make love to the sound of the ocean.
