Can We Go Higher?

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)?
