Melodies of My Heart

Blood of the innocent flow, flow, flow
Innocent children cry, cry, cry endless
humanity has lost love in the land of love

The Eden of past times with honeycomb
now replaced with gardens of cruel bees
Humanity has lost love in the land of love

This land with no river banks to cross over
now all climbing up, up, up to dark cloud
Humanity has lost love in the land of love

This land of uncertainty of sleeping Moses
Last card strong and alive is  hope, hope
Let us all sing and praise God the deliverer

War in Africa, in Afghanistan, war in Syria
War in hearts, war in minds, war in speeches
Stop it, bind wounds and love, you creatures

Things my grandfather told me, now I see
Humanity has lost love in this land of love
