Versuri Peter Gabriel – Won't Stand Down (Bright-Side Mix) lyrics

A million mothers looking forward
They’re all looking out ahead
In the haze, they can make out a planet
Alive, or was it dead?
Moving out in so many directions
The inhabitants had lost their nerve
And the servants of the people
Have forgotten how to serve

This is not the way we want to live
It’s not the way it has to be
This is not the way we want to live
It’s not the way it has to be

But we won’t stand down
‘Til there’s something better showing on the ground
No, wе won’t stand down
‘Til the job is done

Could containers, maps, and mirrors
Hold all thе human race?
While the smartest minds on the planet
Have no human face
But we could feel there was something growing
Cooling the angry heat
It was growing hearts and minds around the world
That no army could defeat

‘Cause this is not the way we want to live
It’s not the way it has to be
This is not the way we want to live
It’s not the way it has to be

‘Cause we won’t stand down
‘Til there’s something better appearing on the ground
No, we won’t stand down
‘Til the job is done, the job is done
No, we won’t stand down
‘Til we have something solid, solid on the ground
No, we won’t stand down
‘Til the job is done, the job is done

We won’t stand down (ah)
‘Til there’s something better, better on the ground (ah)
No, we won’t stand down
‘Til the job is done (ah)
I said we won’t stand down
‘Til we have something solid on the ground
No, we won’t stand down
‘Til the job is done (ah)

I keep walking, walking in a straight line (ah)
And we’re moving, moving altogether (ah)
And we’re walking, walking to a life we can believe in (ah)
As every root, the light, the pulse
The cries are buried, but the spirit calls inside us
And there’s no way here to hide us
And every drop of water falls
And slowly wears away the walls between us, between us
And we won’t
