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 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 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
