The Sound of Crying

Prefab Sprout Prefab Sprout

Hang out the flags a new world order's on the way
Start singing now a song to reach the joyful day
Just when we thought the time was right for celebrating
The music of the spheres
What's this another boat of fleeing refugees on a sea of childrens' tears

Once more the sound of crying
Is number one across the earth
Once more the sound of crying
Is number one across the earth

We're only men remember
Doin' what we can
Sometimes I think that God is working to a plan
Then other times I swear that He is improvising
Dischordant and remote
Another orphaned baby in a failed uprising
Another real bum note

Once more the sound of crying
Is number one across the earth
Once more the sound of crying
Is number one across the earth
Once more the sound of crying
Once more the sound of crying...

And if youre listening out there
You could consider this a prayer...

Well who am I to tell you how to run your business
When you could strike me blind
What kind of noise we gotta make down here
Before we destroy your peace of mind?

Once more the sound of crying
Is number one across the earth
Once more the sound of crying
Is number one across the earth
Once more the sound of crying
Once more the sound of crying...

And if youre listening out there
You could consider this a prayer...
