lyrics

I went to the lark in the morning
to see what the future will bring
but oh my heart was a breaking
when the lark in the morning did sing

there i lost my words in the music
cos the music spoke for itself
and the songs spoke up for the people
so that they could speak up for themselves

sing to me you distant voices
paint a picture of pain and loss
like me you stopped believing
in this place that will never exist

i went to the lark in the morning
and i listened closely and still
and oh my heart was a breaking
when the lark in the morning did sing

i gave in to this feeling of sadness
like a blanket it covered my heart
lord this world if feels like a puzzle
and i look for the missing parts

so i saw the uncounted millions
who have nowhere to go
like me they are strangers
to a world thats blind and cold

i went to the lark in the morning
and i listened closely and still
and oh my heart was a breaking
when the lark in the morning did sing

and her songs they echo the battles
that were lost a long time ago
like chains they keep us tied
to a nation instead of a home

and the lark will never stop singing
and it sings for people like me
and her tunes will never arrive
in this land of fortune and dreams
