Half a World Away
Half a world away
While I lie fast asleep
It's the middle of the day
As a mother fights to keep her child alive
Hopin' they'll survive beyond tonight
She prays that they both live to see the light
Of another day... half a world away
Half a world away
As bombs fly overhead
While I go about my day
Till I'm back home safe in bed without a care
Their lives hang by a thread that's growing bare
Still the heaven we all share must be aware
Of every prayer they pray... half a world away
They pray that they won't be forgotten
Their sacrifice is not in vain
'Cause war once more is once too often
Imagine peace in place of pain
Forever and a day... half a world away
Half a world away
While I lie fast asleep
It's the middle of the day
As a mother fights to keep her child alive
Hopin' they'll survive beyond tonight
She prays that they both live to see the light
Of another day... half a world away
Half a world away
As bombs fly overhead
While I go about my day
Till I'm back home safe in bed without a care
Their lives hang by a thread that's growing bare
Still the heaven we all share must be aware
Of every prayer they pray... half a world away
They pray that they won't be forgotten
Their sacrifice is not in vain
'Cause war once more is once too often
Imagine peace in place of pain
Forever and a day... half a world away
Half a world away
