STING - Another Day lyrics

rate me

Every day that goes by<br>A new hungry baby starts to cry<br>Born astride a painful grave<br>Drowned in hunger's tidal wave<br>Pick a child that you can save<br>It'd be the only one<br><br>If africa escapes starvation<br>Not only food but education<br>The desert grows with every minute<br>Trapping everybody in it<br>All the children look the same<br>They wonder why they came<br>But it's hard to tell the poison from the cure<br>It's harder still to know the reason why, why, why<br>The only thing I really know for sure<br>Is that another day, another day's gone by<br><br>Every day that goes by<br>A brand new missile points towards the sky<br>We're survivors of a game of chance<br>Beneath an arms race avalanche<br>If you survive this winter's cold<br>You'd be the only one<br><br>If we escape annihilation<br>Not only hope but education<br>The world is ruled by bellophiles<br>Adding to their weapon piles<br>Imagine what your taxes buy<br>We hardly ever try<br>But it's hard to tell the poison from the cure<br>It's harder still to know the reason why, why, why<br>The only thing I really know for sure<br>Is that another day, another day's gone by, bye,bye<br><br>That this too solid flesh<br>Would melt and resolve into a dew<br>Suffocating lassitude<br>Drowning in my platitude<br>Trapped by insecurities<br>I'm not the only one<br>If I survive this dislocation<br>Have to use my education<br><br>Chief of inactivity<br>Wasted creativity<br>Distances our revolution<br>Silence is consent<br>But it's hard to tell the poison from the cure<br>It's harder still to know the reason why, why, why<br>The only thing I really know for sure<br>Is that another day, another day's gone by
