Sting - Another Day
Every day that goes byA new hungry baby starts to cryBorn astride a painful graveDrowned in hunger's tidal wavePick a child that you can saveIt'd be the only oneIf Africa escapes starvationNot only food but educationThe desert grows with every minuteTrapping everybody in itAll the children look the sameThey wonder why they cameBut it's hard to tell the poison from the cureIt's harder still to know the reason why, why, whyThe only thing I really know for sureIs that another day, another day's gone byEvery day that goes byA brand new missile points towards the skyWe're survivors of a game of chanceBeneath an arms race avalancheIf you survive this winter's coldYou'd be the only oneIf we escape annihilationNot only hope but educationThe world is ruled by BellophilesAdding to their weapon pilesImagine what your taxes buyWe hardly ever tryBut it's hard to tell the poison from the cureIt's harder still to know the reason why, why, whyThe only thing I really know for sureIs that another day, another day's gone by, bye,byeThat this too solid fleshWould melt and resolve into a dewSuffocating lassitudeDrowning in my platitudeTrapped by insecuritiesI'm not the only oneIf I survive this dislocationHave to use my educationChief of inactivityWasted creativityDistances our revolutionSilence is consentBut it's hard to tell the poison from the cureIt's harder still to know the reason why, why, whyThe only thing I really know for sureIs that another day, another day's gone by
