lyrics

Today in the world
bombs fell again
and children were hungry
and cried in their sleep
and prayed to God
for better dreams tomorrow

today in a town
they cut a man down
who spoke only words of peace
and mans equality
and prayed to God
for better days tomorrow

and it was your birthday
aren't you proud of us?
haven't we come a long way in 2000 years?
do you ever wonder what the sacrifice was for

if you had arrived 2000 years late
would you have turned heel
and left all our souls to fate
if you had arrived 2000 years late
would anyone believe anything that you had to say

today in the street
i watched a man fall
and someone else helped him
rise with a smile
and said are you alright
and walked with him awhile

and it was your birthday
aren't you proud of us?
haven't we come a long way in 2000 years?
do you ever wonder what the sacrifice was for

if you had arrived 2000 years late
would you have turned heel
and left all our souls to fate
if you had arrived 2000 years late
would anyone believe anything that you had to say

and it was your birthday
aren't you proud of us?
haven't we come a long way in 2000 years?
do you ever wonder what the sacrifice was for
