Lyrics:

How long have you been free
In this world of hate and greed
Is it black or is it white
Let's find anoth­er compromise
and our future stand­ing still
We're dan­cing in the spotlight
Where is the lead­er who leads me
I'm still waiting
Leaving home

And god is on your side
Dividing spar­rows from the nightingales
Watching all the time
Dividing water from the burn­ing fire, inside

Leave a light on in the night for me
That I can find you
Remember when we both where young and reck­less and so curious
Now you're hid­ing from your child
A new day's dawning
Remember that you felt alive sometimes

And God is on your side
Dividing cruelty from tenderness
Watching all the time
Dividing fic­tion from reality

Move in circles, walk on lines
No human being in sight
Calm the winds and calm the seas
Let's try anoth­er kind of peace
Who fights this holy civil war
A mil­lion men in uniform
Wo ist der Führer der mich führt
Ich warte immer noch
Leaving home

And God is on your side
Dividing pres­ence from the history
Watching all the time
Dividing deaf men from the listen­ing ones

And God is on your side
Dividing sol­diers from the fishermen
Watching all the time
Dividing war­ships from the ferryboats
