Well, it's dark in the city
I've lost my pride
The lights in the streets hide the stars from my eyes

It's been a long, long [bad word] But I know that change is [bad word] 
And it's too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
Cause I don't know what's up there
Just beyond the sky

It's been a long, long [bad word] But I know that change is [bad word] 
And I miss my family
My little girl
She is my princess
I'd give her the world

It's been a long, long [bad word] But I know that change is [bad word] 
I just need [bad word] Some kind of belief
That this war we're fighting
Can really bring some peace

There's no rhyme nor reason
Or sweet melody
More and more weapons
mean less security

It's been a long, long [bad word] But I know that change is [bad word] 
And I've tried to find it
Some better place
Where having the biggest gun
ain't some kind of race

It's been a long, long [bad word] But I know that change is [bad word] 
There's been times I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able
To carry on

It's been a long, long [bad word] But I know that change is [bad word] 
It's been a long, long [bad word] But I know that change is [bad word] 
Yes, a change is [bad word]
