Luka Bloom - Lebanon lyrics

Things are looking bad now They never have been worse To the north lie mountains To the south a curse Bloodstained footprints in the shifting sands Among the olive groves of Cedarland Lebanon Lebanon… Young girls go running around Giggling out the door Every generation has seen these wars before Caught between a rock and a hard, hard place Still you live your lives in a state of grace Lebanon Lebanon… Old man smokes his pipe And through world-weary eyes He curses the cameras And pleads to merciless skies Through the ashes float the words of Khalil Gibran Love in time will show her hand Lebanon Lebanon…
