When the sirens sound
People don't feel safe
There's fear in every town
But not where you lay
When the market's down
People lose their way
There's greed in every town
But not where you lay
Let me hold you close
Let me love you most
Let me show you how it's supposed to be
Little love joy peace stability
When the common ground
Slowly loses sway
There's hate in every town
But not where you lay
And when the hope that's found
Is quickly stripped away
There's pain in every town
But not where you lay
When the night surrounds
People pray for day
The dark it sweeps through every town
Not where you lay
