Lyrics

Once upon a time in another world
On a hill that overlooked the sea
There was once a garden of beauty and of grace
Lovely as a dream could ever be
Then the roses bled and the lilies broke
On the day that death came to the garden
Hidden in the flowers meant to break the heart
Flames that burst like blossoms in the garden
Can't you hear the voices from across the sea
Calling from the ruins of the garden?
Calling out to you, calling out to me
Save us from the darkness that has fallen
On our lovely garden
Name them all by heart, name them one by one
Countries where a child is lost tomorrow
Count the deadly flowers in the fields and woods
Count them like a rosary of sorrow
Can't you hear the voices from across the sea
Calling from the ruins of the garden?
Calling out to you, calling out to me
Save us from the darkness that has fallen
On our lovely garden
Where the children played in the summer light
Running through the flowers on the hill
Laughter in their voices, hope within their hearts
Knowing they would live forevermore
I have seen a child, barely five or six
Counting bombs and tears, his childhood broken
Give him back the garden, give him back his life
Give him back a world where love is spoken
Let us join our voices far across the sea
Singing all together in the garden
Let the roses bloom, let the lilies grow
Let us live together for the children
In our lovely garden
In our lovely garden
In our lovely garden
