In a distant land, children are dyin
In a distant land, mothers are cryin
In a distant land, houses are burning
In a distant land, war is returning
Wake up, there's no distant land
Don't fool yourself, there is no distant land
Wake up, there's no distant land
Don't fool yourself, there's no distant land
Can't you see, it's our children who are dyin
Open your hearts, it's our own mothers who are cryin
Can't you see, our houses are burnin
Do you care, our war is returnin
Wake up, there is no distant land
Don't fool yourself, there is no distant land
Wake up, there's no distant land
Don't fool yourself, there is no distant land
The Student asked the Teacher
What do we do about the others
The Teacher replied
There are no others
These are your children
Your sisters and your brothers
This is your family
And your weeping mothers
(Wake up)
