I saw the buildings fall from the sky,
I saw the people, I watched them die,
I saw it all on the morning news,
And I saw what hate will do
I saw brave men risk their lives,
I saw brave men, I watched them die,
There in the darkness of that afternoon,
Oh, I saw what brave do
But the stars come out at night,
And the moon it shines so bright,
And the mystery holds, which no one knows,
And our hopes and dreams sustain us.
I saw the families torn apart,
I saw the children with broken hearts,
There is no comfort for their wounds,
Oh, I saw what grief will do
I saw a nation rise up and cry,
I saw the people asking why;
I saw their anger and I saw their blues,
Oh, I saw what loss will do.
But the stars come out at night,
And the moon it shines so bright,
And the mystery holds, which no one knows,
And our hopes and dreams sustain us.
I saw the children of Palestine,
Strap on their bombs, I watched them die;
In desperation they are used,
Oh, I saw what need will do
I saw the young men of Jerusalem,
With their tanks and with their guns,
Through the broken dreams they pursue,
Oh, I saw what the pain will do
But the stars come out at night,
And the moon it shines so bright,
And the mystery holds, which no one knows,
And our hopes and dreams sustain us.
There was a young man from Nazareth,
“Love one another,” to the people, he said,
But love was something they could not do,
Oh, I saw what men will do
I saw the buildings fall from the sky…
And I saw hatred stronger than life,
I saw madness, and I saw doom,
Oh, I saw what evil will do
But the stars come out at night,
And the moon it shines so bright,
And the mystery holds, which no one knows,
And our hopes and dreams sustain us.
