Michael Kamen — Can we go higher? lyrics

Lyrics

A thousand candles in the air
One by one
A body count each time I raise
My eyes to the sun
No rain of understanding falls
To fill the well
Centuries and days have gone
With the ringing of a bell?
Here we are … and
Here we are …
Can we go higher? (Love instead of borders)
Higher? (We can smile at the future)
Higher? In our dreams? (To believe !)
(Instead of borders, smile at the future now)
A troop of angels, left and right
Watch and wait
Will it happen round the world tonight?
A simple twist of faith
Let us talk as people do Woman and man
Let us shout out «Peace» again
In every, every, every land
Here we are … and
Here we are …
Can we go higher? (Love instead of borders)
Higher? (We can smile at the future)
Higher? In our dreams? (To believe !)
(Instead of borders, smile at the future now)
