Oh Baby!
Written by Nikolaos Moschovos
Oh baby!
How hard you must try
to see the sky.
You run and shout
like a bee,
but you don’t look around;
your eyes look at the abyss.
Listen to the sound of music
playing in the background.
Justice is blind,
the picture is unfinished.
Oh! Look around you.
The people break the wall down
The people break the wall down.
The tension gets higher,
you feel the bitterness in your mouth,
the voice that orders
hides the meaning from you.
Oh baby!
You feel the helicopter rumble.
You don’t feel the wall’s vibration.
We don’t need bureaucrats, my love,
we don’t want self-styled know-alls,
just simple people.
The bomb falls on the house.
The Mother writhes looking at her disemboweled baby,
You cannot trust in nobody.
New days are coming.
Time is so very little!
Don’t cry,
look, the sun is rising,
look, the pigeons are flapping.
Can you forget?
Can you forget?
Find the musical rhythm.
What do you think,
nothing is enough
nothing is so little
when a child is running naked
in the streets of the world.
Wipe your tears away,
look out of your window,
a smile is waiting for you,
a flower is waiting for you.
Oh baby!
How hard you must try
to catch the dreams.
I know,
The machines hide everything
The moment is near
the moment is far
The rainbow has not risen yet.
I wonder!
Which color will enchant us?
Which fairy- tale picture will emerge?
Oh baby!
The pain is great,
Goodbye big Sky
Good morning, new Sky.
A battle is going to take place
If anyone can hold out, he will.
To hell or to heaven shall we go?
So, look around you,
The world being in a ferment,
the calmness before the Storm,
the kiss before love- making,
the blood before death.
Oh baby, there is no more time,
what we have done has passed.
GOOD MORNING rainbow
Goodbye BLUE SKY.
