The flowers died on fields of hope
All the way from east to west
Where the mighty winds will blow
I’ll put my dreams to rest
This scary monster is very much alive
Like a hundred years ago
If all those missiles would be bread
No one had to starve tonight
We run for shelter and what is left
Is a life ain't worth a dime
So far away from human rights
Stranded all alone

It's a long way to go
To find the world we used to know
A long way to go
To find the better world we used to know

Before we make this world a mess
We gotta clean up our minds
We could be brothers, sisters, yes
United once and all the time
From out of space the captain takes a look
At mother earth, so small

Who will be cryin' when we fall just tell me
Who in the world can heal our souls

It's a long way to go
To find the world we used to know
A long way to go
To find the better world we used to know
A better world we used to know
A better world it’s a long way to go
