Underneath these walls

Underneath the bullet holes

I still don't know who we are

But it's shining underneath
Oh, I've been waiting for love to give birth

New life to show pain it's worth

I've been waiting for peace on earth

Like a newborn child

Oh, like a newborn child

You'll find them when your thirsty

Learn the lesson that can't be taught,
