How long have you been free
   in this world of hate and greed
   is it black or is it white
   let's find another compromise
   and our future's standing still
   we're dancing in the spotlight
   where is the leader who leads me
   i'm still waiting
   leaving home
  
   ...and God is on your side
   dividing sparrows from the
   nightingales
   watching all the time
   dividing water from the burning fire inside...
  
  
   Leave a light on in the night for me
   that I can find you
   remember when we both where young and
   reckless and so curious
   now you're hiding from your child
   a new day's dawning
   remember that you felt alive sometimes
  
   ...and god is on your side
   dividing cruelty from tenderness
   watching all the time
   dividing fiction from reality...
  
   Move in circles walk the lines
   no human being inside
   calm the winds and calm the seas
   try another kind of peace
   who fights this holy civil war
   a million men in uniform
   wo ist der Führer der mich führt
   ich warte immer noch
  
   ...Leaving home
   and god is on your side
   dividing presence from the history
   watching all the time
   dividing deaf men from the listening ones...
  
  
   Leave a light on in the night for me

   a new day's dawning
   remember that you felt alive sometimes
  
   ...and god is on your side
   dividing soldiers from the fishermen
   watching all the time
   dividing warships from the ferryboats...
