Safety Of Distance Lyrics
It won't bring back lovers and friends,
But it might make for a happier end.
There is hope in the land of ruins
In the village of old enemies
Who have come to join hands for they share the knowledge:
Compassion is the measure of a man.
It won't bring back lovers and friends,
But it might make for a happier end.
And all the colours will return to these hills
Where the dust of despair takes hold.
One day they will drink from these not still waters.
Where there's a will there's a road.
It won't bring back lovers and friends,
But it might make for a happier end.
Compassion is the measure of a man.
But it might make for a happier end.
In the village of old enemies
Who have come to join hands for they share the knowledge:
Compassion is the measure of a man.
But it might make for a happier end.
Where the dust of despair takes hold.
One day they will drink from these not still waters.
Where there's a will there's a road.
But it might make for a happier end.
Compassion is the measure of a man.

An amazing anti-war song only realized several years after its initial release in 2008.
Lior sang this on the 100th anniversary of the World War I ANZAC, Canadian, Indian, British, and French forces landing on the shores of Gallipoli in Turkey in 2015. Several nations joined together to remember and reflect 100 years later. Compassion is truly the measure of a man.
