How long have you been free

In this world of hate and greed

Is it black or is it white 

Let's find another compromise 

and our future standing still 

We're dancing in the spotlight 

Where is the leader who leads me 

I'm still waiting 

Leaving home 



And God is on your side

Dividing sparrows from the nightingales 

Watching all the time 

Dividing water from the burning fire, inside



Leave a light on in the night for me 

That I can find you 

Remember when we both where young and reckless and so curious 

Now you're hiding from your child 

A new day's dawning 

Remember that you felt alive sometimes 



And God is on your side 

Dividing cruelty from tenderness 

Watching all the time 

Dividing fiction from reality 



Move in circles, walk on lines

No human being in sight 

Calm the winds and calm the seas 

Let's try another kind of peace 

Who fights this holy civil war 

A million men in uniform 

Wo ist der Führer der mich führt 

Ich warte immer noch 

Leaving home 



And God is on your side 

Dividing presence from the history 

Watching all the time 

Dividing deaf men from the listening ones



And God is on your side 

Dividing soldiers from the fishermen 

Watching all the time 

Dividing warships from the ferryboats
