from the songs album unknown
(olivia newton-john)
Wash the blood from my hands
Take the pain from my heart
I just can't understand
What it is that we do
What's the thread running through
The heritage of man
How can i justify to my child what we're doing
When i can't explain it myself
And if i close my eyes to the wild silent ruin
Then i'm just like everyone else
And i cry for their beauty; i cry for their pain
And i cry that my child may not see them again
Will i leave her a legacy she's being denied
Oh i pray that we will when i kiss her goodbye
How can i justify to my child what we're doing
When i can't explain it myself
And if i close my eyes to the wild silent ruin
Then i'm just like everyone else
Oh i dream of a time in the future
When we can renurture the damage we've done
For although there's a dark side to all human nature
Our true selves are born in the sun
Our true selves are born in the sun
Please explain to me what we have done
