Story Behind The Song
I've never understood border control really. Who decided to split this world into different countries and take ownership of it. So many wars are fought over tiny blocks of land and it's destroying the world - past, present and future. That's what this song is about and the picture really got me thinking about it.
Song Description
Entry for 'What's In A Picture' 6-pack competition that got me thinking about the way we treat the earth. Who is caring for its future? Who is protecting it? DOn't we have a duty to?

Lyrics
Verse 1
Out of the shadows, into the field,
The glare is in my eyes, so I can't tell you how I feel,
An interloper into our world,
To tell us what we're hurting, to protect the boys and girls...
Bridge
From the battles we've created; from the borders that we've made;
From religions and their fighting and the wars that we have waged...
Chorus (same as Verse)
The sun has come to say I don't know what the hell you're doing with this,
The world is on its knees and it's the fault of human kind,
The sun has come to say I don't know how the hell we're going to heal this,
The body count is growing and the world will fall behind...
Oh the time's not... the time's not... the time's not on our side,
The time's not, the time's not, the time's not on our side...
Verse 2
Apocalypse then, apocalypse now,
We haven't learnt that fighting is the thing that slows us down,
Inevitable, a frightening end,
We carry on destroying and we haven't learnt to mend...
Bridge
All the battles we've created; from the borders that we've made;
From religions and their fighting and the wars that we have waged...
The sun has come to say I don't know what the hell you're doing with this,
The world is on its knees and it's the fault of human kind,
The sun has come to say I don't know how the hell we're going to heal this,
The body count is growing and the world will fall behind...
Oh the time's not... the time's not... the time's not on our side,
The time's not, the time's not, the time's not on our side...
