The Light

Александр Изотов
I've seen the finger showing the way.
I heard the leader, who had no brain.
He said to the people, what they should be fighting for.
There ain't no winners in that war!

He said: 'You go ahead!
While we get rich'.
Oh what a clever speaker, what a clever speech!
They sow the seeds rotten to the core.
There ain't no winners in that war!

When night is dire
They put on side.
I need a fire.
I need a light.

And every prison here is a school of crime.
Is freedom anything, but a gangsters' prime?
when three million killers live next door.
So many losers in that war!

And you may go ahead or may turn back.
But love is the only thing you really lack.
Love is the only thing
we should be fighting for.
we all are winners in that war!

When night is dire,
You take my side,
you are my fire,
you are my light.
