Lyrics
LYRICS To "BUTTERFLIES" {ANTI-LANDMINE -CHARITY SONG}
Born on this land this is my home
My life its all I've ever known
God only knows how do I survive
God only knows the ploughing fields are a live
Blinded by the ice cold winter nights
Blinded by the shattered flames & flashing lights
Drifting snow way up ahead
Theres no stone to turn no footsteps to tread
"CHORUS"
Clear the bridges clear the dams
Clear the railroad & the bloody sands
Clear the earth of "BUTTERFLIES"
Wipe the fear from my eyes
I climb the mountains reach for the sun
I hear the cries from the valleys no shoulder to lean on
Theres devastation & casualties
Children running, dying, Burning confusion with broken tears
The well & rivers are a must
Everything I seem to touch turns into dust
Got to spare me some pride
Its the rainbows I cant find
'REP-CHORUS'
'MIDDLE 8'
Let them walk with a smile on their face
And a dream in their soul
Let them walk with a smile on their face
And a dream in their soul
Let them walk with a smile on their face
And a dream in their soul
