Heavens Above

Heaven's above what have we done Oh, we've killed off the thing we had so little of True, love has no truth without a price But the cost of loving has been blown sky high Spend on the hope the call The Peacemaker And pray to their God the Heavy Rainmaker Pagans of wealth they dance so freely As they give away the life that comes so cheaply Don't you see There's a better way for us to be And in the back of your mind You know it's just a matter of time Time here today is life tomorrow Oh, but life means less now the time is borrowed Paid for in blood, the donors seem keen As they realize too late they've been so cheated Surely by now we've paid the price What is there left to sacrifice You take the power, you take the pay You steal the will and have the say I'm sure by now there's not much left One hand on heart, one on a breast You steal the milk, you milk the land But your time is up, your time is sand
