lyrics

A boat is sailing on midnight seas
Full of people fleeing poverty’s disease
Hiding below in the mercy of the hull
Is a boy who never felt his stomach full
Don’t look for answers brother
just pray this wooden ship gets steered
The boy’s searching for his mother
among these families of the disappeared

A mass grave is a hole in the ground
Full of dead bodies the terrified have found
Grandma’s crying on a floor she just swept
The wind knows the worst hasn’t happened yet

Don’t look for answers brother
they’ll never dry that old women’s tears
She howls with others
who are families of the disappeared

All over the world all over the world Missing one another
All over the world

Everybody sees the big attack
The distance of the planet as the stars go black
Old man walking with a dog and cane
Past bombed out buildings ‘neath a Godless rain

Don’t look for answers brother cause you
sure ain’t gonna find any here
Planet Earth is smothered
with these families of,the disappeared
What becomes of people
when does hope replace fear?
We’re all stuck in the eye of a needle
with these families of the disappeared
All over the world all over the world
Where are you my darling
all over the world All over the world all over the world
Missing one another all over the world
All over the world all over the world
Where are your my brother?
All over the world
