Reinhard Mey - One Vote for Tomorrow lyrics

In our world, the power is balanced At least that what we are told The eastern world, just like the western Want's to keep the big war cold But still it makes me so nervous To watch all the small wars grow When the small wars turn to big ones I hope, someone knows As we count each others missiles We know that we both are tough But this talk of over-k**ing Surely once should be more then enough Keeping up our spheres of influence Keeps us all a little blind How can we look for tomorrow? Watching out for what's behind It seems that we should be wiser After all that we've been through I would like to trust my neighbor So would he and so would you If we just could know each other And see that we're all the same Just a little understanding And we have a different Game There is so much to do together To make this a better place We have problems, common problems That threaten all the human race We all have to drink the water We all have to breath the air We all must have a common cause If we are to keep them there These are bigger than one nation These are not a question of race These are things we use together And together ought to face We have much more to unite us Then we have to make us fight If we just could se each other In a universal light We must learn we all are people We all laugh and we all cry And for such things as empty speeches Non of us should have to die But we need some time to learn this After knowing only hate We beg our leaders: "Please keep talking! And pray we haven't begun to late! Please don't push this final bu*tons Don't admit that we have failed!"
