Don't look up
Keep your eyes straight ahead
One bright day we will count our blessings
Today we count the dead
 
I learned to pray today
On my knees in my living room
When the world turned to fire
In the heart of desire
And love faded into the gloom
 
Don't look up
Keep your eyes straight ahead
One bright day we will count our blessings
Today we count the dead
 
Brothers they fell from above
Sisters they took off their shoes
The brave ones ran in
Never came out again
Now we are torn and confused
 
Don't look up
Keep your eyes straight ahead
One bright day we will count our blessings
Today we count the dead
 
Is there no end to the pain
Born in the souls of men?
Can no love redeem
Is there no holy stream
Where our spirits can be cleansed?
 
Don't look up
Keep your eyes straight ahead
One bright day we will count our blessings
Today we count the dead
 
I learned to pray today
On my knees in my living room
When the sky turned to fire
In the heart of desire
And love faded into the gloom
 
Love faded into the gloom
Love faded into the gloom
