lirik lagu martyn joseph - the luxury of despair
[verse 1]
the translucent light of another pre dawn
squints her eyes and prepares to walk on
from hebron’s stone to nazareth’s hill
there’s hope in the eyes of the hopeless still, yeah yeah
[verse 2]
some walls fall that come from love
but all walls fall that come from hate
you’re poking and you’re pushing to make folk bite
with houses torn down by the military might
but people need to live, people need to roam
people need a dream and pеople need a home
but rage in thе eye won’t let in light
and love makes a better job of the fight
[chorus]
as the sun rises in my children’s eye
i don’t have the luxury, the luxury of despair
as the night rips stars across this ancient sky
i don’t have the luxury, the luxury of despair
[verse 3]
seen through the eyes of a blameless child
suffer they do to come to you
there’s a bike in the road where it shouldn’t be
a twelve year old taken into custody
where he’s scarred and scared, stripped of rights
what the eyes don’t see the mind can’t fight
you just don’t do that but you just do
and sometimes i want to
[chorus]
but as the sun rises in my children’s eye
i don’t have the luxury, the luxury of despair
as the night rips stars across this ancient sky
i don’t have the luxury, the luxury of despair
and as the sun rises in my children’s eye
i don’t have the luxury, the luxury of despair
[bridge]
let’s sit together in that sacred place
i won’t grace you with the passion of fear and dread
you look me in the eye and feel my heart
i’ll look you in your eye and i’ll feel your heart
look me in the eye and see my heart
let’s plant trees of life, let’s bury the dead
[verse 4]
and if the c~ckerel crowed what would i deny?
i hope any tyranny that met my eye
or the rights of domain over the mind of a man
or the lie that we cannot be equal and free
’cause this wall’s divide has another side and a deep blue sea
that was made for you and me
[chorus]
and as the sun rises in my children’s eye
i don’t have the luxury, the luxury of despair
as the night rips stars across this ancient sky
we don’t have the luxury, the luxury of despair
and as the sun rises in my children’s eye
i don’t have the luxury, the luxury of despair
and as the night rips stars across this ancient sky
i don’t have the luxury, the luxury of despair
