This is my reflection on what's just happened in my country...
Keep me sane
Can we forgive when so much harm's been done
Who will admit that your opponent's won
If you see what I see
How can you let it slide?
If you feel what I feel
Stop me from picking sides
Come and bring peace to my home
Cause we seem to lose faith on our own
Keep me sane, will you keep me sane
We're good at standing our ground
But if truth is not to be found,
Will you keep me sane?
Do you believe the rumours papers spread?
Someone's a hero, someone's the biggest threat
If you see what I see
How can we let it slide
If you feel what I feel
Stop me from picking sides
Come and bring peace to my home
Cause we seem to lose faith on our own
Keep me sane, will you keep me sane
We're good at standing our ground
But if truth is not to be found,
Will you keep me sane?
Cause I don't wanna lose my world
No I don't wanna lose my world
Take me from my knees to the place where I can breathe
Tolerance and harmony, to the world of my dreams
Take me from my knees to the world where I can live
In tolerance and harmony, to the world of my dreams
