And now the night is falling
And the stars shine bright in the sky
The stars shine bright in the sky
At the end of the day

And now the owls are calling
And a mad dog howls at the moon
My heart starts beating a tune
Anyway

If we just have the sense to be strong
Walk through fire, walk on water
Then we might find the strength to go on
For our sons, for our daughters

And now the sea is blue
And the sun shines bright in our eyes
The wind comes in with a sigh
And blows our cares all away
And now the vale's in bloom
And the music's starting to play
The words come over the waves
Anyway

If we just have the sense to be strong
Walk through fire, walk on water
Then we might find the strength to go on
For our sons, for our daughters

And now I hate to watch the news
'cause everything gives me the blues
And all our kids are wearing hand-me-downs
Hand-me-downs in forgotten towns
