2.You went alone to a party one night without me
A man came down wanting to fight
He went away and you followed behind just to make the peace
Cause that's the way you were
But something mad was loose in the dark
For when you knocked on the door you copped a shotgun blast
And I watched it all on the TV news and never knew it was you
Until the papers arrived next morning
3.I lost a friend at such a cost
But I keep moving gotta carry on
Just to make the peace with the past
And the memory that dies hard when you said
I have no fear everything is clear when you're near me
I know you've all lost someone you love
But you gotta keep on moving struggle on
Till the time comes with somebody new
Who truly understands and you can say
You can say
We have no fear everything is clear

2.There's a government and an army
Not far from these northern shores
And the tribesmen in the jungle
They fight a secret war
5.Refugees on your own back fence now
Why can't you open your door
What's the matter with our own damn nation
Why can't we open our doors
6.Courage is the heart of the OPM now
What's in the heart of me and you
Does it run in the heart of people for freedom
The same as it flowed in the Kalkadoons

2.His heart is glad she's a-gonna come
He sits down to wait for the setting sun
She leaves her house just after dark
Out on the road there's a speeding car
3.The driver was drunk and didn't see her
And now one man waits down by the river
How can it be so late and she's not with him
He feels the dread swell up within him
4.Instrumental
5.There's an ancient culture and a modern plot
There's a drilling rig and a sacred rock
Those angry words upon the flat
Won't make that dreaming come back
6.There's disease in the body and it won't stop
There's mouths to feed while the food just rots
There's a crowd of people getting shot
There's a loved one gone and meaning lost
