Cry To Heaven - Elton John
I found a black beret
on the street today
It was lying in the
gutter all torn
There's a white flag flying
on a tall building
But the kids
just watch the storm
Their dirty faces
pressed on the windows
Shattered glass
before their eyes
There's a mad dog barking
in a burned out subway
Where the sniper
sleeps at night
No birthday songs
to sing again
Just bricks and stones
to give them
Wrap them up
in your father's flags
And let them cry to heaven
No birthday songs
to sing again
Just bricks and stones
to give them
Wrap them up
in your father's flags
And let them cry to heaven
There are many graves
by a cold lake
As the beds were when
your babies are born
And your rag doll sits
with a permanent grin
But the kids
just watch the storm
I saw a black cat
tease a white mouse
Until he killed it
with his claws
Seems a lot of countries
do the same thing
Before they go to war
No birthday songs
to sing again
Just bricks and stones
to give them
Wrap them up
in your father's flags
And let them cry to heaven
Oh No birthday songs
to sing again
Just bricks and stones
to give them
Oh Wrap them up
in your father's flags
And let them cry to heaven
let them cry to heaven
let them cry to heaven
let them cry to heaven
