I have seen the diamond stylus Cut a groove from north to south Heard them calling from the islands for a better day One by one they tell their stories One by one it's just the same They've taken our leaders And all our believers are paralized Now we can't turn back... Somebody is watching you Don't turn round Yesterday is gone! And even the children are waking at midnight in tears.... Mother mother mother...... Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun Looking out my bedroom window I remember early days When the shot that wounded millions took our breath away But now the shadow of a gunman With his balaclava eyes Is making the news Calling out the warnings on the telephone You're in the line of fire Wish there was another way Line of fire Anything goes And who is the winner and what will the minister say At the end of the day? Never never never..... Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun Mother mother mother.... Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun Hush child, go to sleep; it's only the sound of a gun Hush child, do not weep It's only the sound of a world on the run You're hearing the sound of a gun
