There's no where to hide, no where I can go
I reach out my hand touching death itself
just another holy day in Sarajevo
Hiding from the planes and from the bombing
Fire in the sky burning down my life
There is no more love no more longing
I dream of Peace
I dream of flowers on the hill
I dream I see my mother smiling
When I close my eyes I dream of Peace
Once my mother sang to me and held me
Then the fire came falling from the sky
There is no one left who can protect me
Feeding on the dreams of all the children
War's an evil bird flying in the dark
Every holy promise has been broken
I dream of Peace
I dream of flowers on the hill
I dream I see my mother smiling
When I close my eyes I dream of Peace
You are tall and strong and I am just a child.
Can't we live in a peace stop the flowing blood
Make a blessed world where I can be a child.
Do you dream of Peace?
Do you dream of flowers on the hill?
Do you dream you see your mother smiling?
When you close your eyes do you dream of Peace?
You have struggled here in Sarajevo
Courage you have shown to the watching world
We have prayed and wept for Sarajevo
Children dance again in Sarajevo
Now the sun can shine
Now the birds can sing
Let the peace continue, Sarajevo
Do you dream of Peace?
Do you dream of flowers on the hill?
Do you dream you see your mother smiling?
When you close your eyes do you dream of Peace?
I reach out my hand touching death itself
just another holy day in Sarajevo
Hiding from the planes and from the bombing
Fire in the sky burning down my life
There is no more love no more longing
I dream of Peace
I dream of flowers on the hill
I dream I see my mother smiling
When I close my eyes I dream of Peace
Once my mother sang to me and held me
Then the fire came falling from the sky
There is no one left who can protect me
Feeding on the dreams of all the children
War's an evil bird flying in the dark
Every holy promise has been broken
I dream of Peace
I dream of flowers on the hill
I dream I see my mother smiling
When I close my eyes I dream of Peace
You are tall and strong and I am just a child.
Can't we live in a peace stop the flowing blood
Make a blessed world where I can be a child.
Do you dream of Peace?
Do you dream of flowers on the hill?
Do you dream you see your mother smiling?
When you close your eyes do you dream of Peace?
You have struggled here in Sarajevo
Courage you have shown to the watching world
We have prayed and wept for Sarajevo
Children dance again in Sarajevo
Now the sun can shine
Now the birds can sing
Let the peace continue, Sarajevo
Do you dream of Peace?
Do you dream of flowers on the hill?
Do you dream you see your mother smiling?
When you close your eyes do you dream of Peace?

Versione italiana di Kiocciolina
CANZONE PER SARAJEVO
Non c'è nessun posto in cui nascondersi, nessun posto in cui posso andare
Allungo la mia mano toccando la morte stessa
solo un altro giorno sacro a Sarajevo
Nascondendosi dagi aerei e dai bombardamenti
Il fuoco nel cielo rade al suolo la mia vita
Non c'è più amore, niente più desiderio
Sogno la Pace
Sogno i fiori sulla collina
Sogno di vedere mia madre sorridere
Quando chiudo gli occhi sogno la Pace
Un tempo mia madre cantava per me e mi stringeva
Poi il fuoco ha cominciato a cadere dal cielo
Non è rimasto nessuno che possa proteggermi
Alimentandosi dei sogni di tutti i bambini
La guerra è un uccello malvagio che vola nel buio
Ogni promessa sacra è stata infranta
Sogno la Pace
Sogno i fiori sulla collina
Sogno di vedere mia madre sorridere
Quando chiudo gli occhi sogno la Pace
Voi siete alti e forti e io sono solo un bambino.
Non possiamo vivere in pace, fermare lo scorrimento di sangue,
Creare un mondo beato in cui io possa essere un bambino?
Voi sognate la Pace?
Sognate i fiori sulla collina?
Sognate di vedere vostra madre sorridere?
Quando chiudete gli occhi, sognate la Pace?
Avete lottato qui a Sarajevo
Avete dimostrato coraggio al mondo che sta a guardare
Abbiamo pregato e pianto per Sarajevo
I bambini ballano di nuovo a Sarajevo
Ora il sole può splendere
Ora gli uccelli possono cantare
Lasciate che la pace continui, Sarajevo
Voi sognate la Pace?
Sognate i fiori sulla collina?
Sognate di vedere vostra madre sorridere?
Quando chiudete gli occhi, sognate la Pace?
Non c'è nessun posto in cui nascondersi, nessun posto in cui posso andare
Allungo la mia mano toccando la morte stessa
solo un altro giorno sacro a Sarajevo
Nascondendosi dagi aerei e dai bombardamenti
Il fuoco nel cielo rade al suolo la mia vita
Non c'è più amore, niente più desiderio
Sogno la Pace
Sogno i fiori sulla collina
Sogno di vedere mia madre sorridere
Quando chiudo gli occhi sogno la Pace
Un tempo mia madre cantava per me e mi stringeva
Poi il fuoco ha cominciato a cadere dal cielo
Non è rimasto nessuno che possa proteggermi
Alimentandosi dei sogni di tutti i bambini
La guerra è un uccello malvagio che vola nel buio
Ogni promessa sacra è stata infranta
Sogno la Pace
Sogno i fiori sulla collina
Sogno di vedere mia madre sorridere
Quando chiudo gli occhi sogno la Pace
Voi siete alti e forti e io sono solo un bambino.
Non possiamo vivere in pace, fermare lo scorrimento di sangue,
Creare un mondo beato in cui io possa essere un bambino?
Voi sognate la Pace?
Sognate i fiori sulla collina?
Sognate di vedere vostra madre sorridere?
Quando chiudete gli occhi, sognate la Pace?
Avete lottato qui a Sarajevo
Avete dimostrato coraggio al mondo che sta a guardare
Abbiamo pregato e pianto per Sarajevo
I bambini ballano di nuovo a Sarajevo
Ora il sole può splendere

Lasciate che la pace continui, Sarajevo
Voi sognate la Pace?
Sognate i fiori sulla collina?
Sognate di vedere vostra madre sorridere?
Quando chiudete gli occhi, sognate la Pace?

SONG FOR SARAJEVO
Blood in all the streets, running like a flood
There's no where to hide, no where that I can go
I reach out my hand, touching death itself
Just a holy day in Sarajevo
I can hear my heart, pounding like a clock
Hiding from the planes and from the bombing
Fire from the sky, burning down my life
There is no more love and no more longing
But when I close my eyes
I dream of peace
I dream of flowers on the hill
I dream I see my mother smiling
When I close my eyes
I dream of peace
Once I had a home, once my life was good
Once my mother sang to me and held me
Then the fire came, falling from the sky
There is no one left who can protect me
War's a wicked bird that never comes to rest
Feeding on the dreams of all the children
War's an evil bird flying in the dark
Every holy promise has been broken
But when I close my eyes
I dream of peace
I dream of flowers on the hill
I dream I see my mother smiling
When I close my eyes
I dream of peace
Can't you stop the war, bring it to a close
You are tall and strong and I am just a child
Can't we live in peace, stop the flowing blood
Make a blessed world where I can be a child
When you close your eyes
Do you dream of peace?
Do you dream of flowers on the hill?
Do you dream, you see your mother smiling
When you close your eyes
Do you dream of peace?
When you close your eyes
Do you dream of peace?
Do you dream of flowers on the hill?
Do you dream, you see your mother smiling
When you close your eyes
Do you dream of peace?
Open up your eyes and give us peace
Blood in all the streets, running like a flood
There's no where to hide, no where that I can go
I reach out my hand, touching death itself
Just a holy day in Sarajevo
I can hear my heart, pounding like a clock
Hiding from the planes and from the bombing
Fire from the sky, burning down my life
There is no more love and no more longing
But when I close my eyes
I dream of peace
I dream of flowers on the hill
I dream I see my mother smiling
When I close my eyes
I dream of peace
Once I had a home, once my life was good
Once my mother sang to me and held me
Then the fire came, falling from the sky
There is no one left who can protect me
War's a wicked bird that never comes to rest
Feeding on the dreams of all the children
War's an evil bird flying in the dark
Every holy promise has been broken
But when I close my eyes
I dream of peace
I dream of flowers on the hill
I dream I see my mother smiling
When I close my eyes
I dream of peace
Can't you stop the war, bring it to a close
You are tall and strong and I am just a child
Can't we live in peace, stop the flowing blood
Make a blessed world where I can be a child
When you close your eyes
Do you dream of peace?
Do you dream of flowers on the hill?
Do you dream, you see your mother smiling
When you close your eyes
Do you dream of peace?
When you close your eyes
Do you dream of peace?
Do you dream of flowers on the hill?
Do you dream, you see your mother smiling
When you close your eyes
Do you dream of peace?
Open up your eyes and give us peace
