Under The Same Sun
Scorpions · Face the Heat
it was shattered by a gun
heard a scream , saw him fall, no one cried
I saw a mother
she was praying for her son
bring him back, let him live, donÂ’t let him die
Bridge:
Do you ever ask yourself
is there a heaven in the sky
why canÂ’t we get it right
Chorus:
‘cause we all live under the same sun
we all walk under the same moon
then why, why canÂ’t we live as one
I saw the evening
fading shadows one by one
we watch the lamb, lay down to the sacrifice
I saw the children
the children of the sun
how they wept, how they blend, how they died
Bridge:
Do you ever ask yourself
is there a heaven in the sky
why canÂ’t we stop the fight
Chorus:
‘cause we all live under the same sun
we all walk under the same moon
then why, why canÂ’t we live as one
Sometimes I think IÂ’m going mad
weÂ’re loosing all we had and no one seems to care
but in my heart it doesnÂ’t change
weÂ’ve got to rearrange and bring our world some love
Bridge:
And does it really matter
if thereÂ’s a heaven up above
we sure could use some love
Chorus:
‘cause we all live under the same sun
we all walk under the same moon
then why, why canÂ’t we live as one
‘cause we all live under the same sky
we all look up at the same stars
then why, why canÂ’t we live as one
