All god’s children
Will be released you say
And all god’s children
Will be free one fine day
Tho’ the sun was shining this morning
It really made me cry
‘cause today the brightest star
Has fallen from our sky
All the believers
Stand in disbelief
Words without meaning
Echo like a dream
And the songs they sang this morning
They really made me cry
In a song that lasts forever
The hero never dies
Chorus
Taking its time
The healing of the heart (repeat)
One cold morning
Not so long ago
I woke to, “There’s no heaven”
On the radio
And the songs they just kept coming
A picture forming in my mind
Seems like no one hears the warnings
When they cross over the line
Chorus
Over and over the words in those songs
Keep on running through my mind
We must remember them
We must remember them
All their good intentions
Are carried in our hearts
With love and understanding
We can make the feelings last
May the light return from the darkness
Broken promises and lies
May the flame that burns eternally
Be reflected in our eyes
