One Man's Fool
As the buildings crumble,
Tumble to the ground
And the dust-filled smoke
Rises in the air,
You know that somebody somewhere
Looks with pride, they're satisfied.
To all who think they know,
To everyone that knows
That they're right,
D'you ever wonder why,
D'you never ask the question,
Even in the depths of night?
Now as the daylight fading
Ends another day,
For too many
Life will never be the same,
And it is all for the reason
They will never understand
And on the morning after
Do you realise,
See the ruined faces
And the ruined lives,
Inside your head
Do you never have
the thought, a moment of doubt?
There are only dreams,
One like any other,
What means the Earth to one or few
Means nothing to another,
There are only dreams,
Like any other
Drawing lines upon the sand,
On the land, on the sea,
Then dying to defend them
Seems quite meaningless to me
Don't you know what means the Earth
To some or only one
Can mean just nothing, nothing,
Nothing to another?
There are only dreams, like any other,
There are only differences,
Worth living but not dying for
One man's joy makes another man weep,
Nothing you can do is ever gonna change it,
One man's saint is another man's fool,
One man's hot is another man's cool
And when the war is over, won,
Will there be peace forever more?
Statues carved right out of stone,
Out of wood, made from gold,
Praying for their mercy
That won't save their souls
Don't you know what means the Earth
To some or only one
Can mean just nothing, nothing,
Nothing to another?
There are only dreams, like any other,
There are only hopes and beliefs,
One like any other
Worth living but not dying for,
Living but not dying for,
Not killing for,
There are only dreams, like any other,
Like any other
To all of those who think
That they know,
All I can say, yes all I can say:
One man's joy makes another man weep,
Nothing you can do is ever gonna change it,
One man's saint is another man's fool,
One man's hot is another man's cool
There are only dreams, like any other,
There are only hopes and beliefs,
One like any other,
There are only dreams like any other...
