.:: White Ribbon Day ::.
How can it be that God is love?
When blood rolls down upon our land And fathers lose their only son Where is the hope?
Oh God we pray for White Ribbon Day
How can it be that you could love me?
When the blood ran down that wooden cross
Your father gave his only son
You came for peace
You came to die for White Ribbon Day
[Chorus:]
And we pray for peace
To flood our hearts again
Only God can save our nation now
And we long for joy to fill our streets again
Only God can save our nation now
How can it be that God is just?
When flesh is torn from young and old
And children run in bloody fields
Where is the hope?
God we pray for White Ribbon Day
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah for White Ribbon Day
And can it be that you are just
When flesh was torn for young and old?
And here we stand saved by your blood
We'll stand with courage
We'll live and die for White Ribbon Day
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah for White Ribbon Day
How can it be that God is love?
When blood rolls down upon our land And fathers lose their only son Where is the hope?
Oh God we pray for White Ribbon Day
How can it be that you could love me?
When the blood ran down that wooden cross
Your father gave his only son
You came for peace
You came to die for White Ribbon Day
[Chorus:]
And we pray for peace
To flood our hearts again
Only God can save our nation now
And we long for joy to fill our streets again
Only God can save our nation now
How can it be that God is just?
When flesh is torn from young and old
And children run in bloody fields
Where is the hope?
God we pray for White Ribbon Day
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah for White Ribbon Day
And can it be that you are just
When flesh was torn for young and old?
And here we stand saved by your blood
We'll stand with courage
We'll live and die for White Ribbon Day
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah for White Ribbon Day

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Midnight
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms.
“Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
to me this song is like me talking to a mate. they question as to why "god" allows these things to happen, and simply its freewill, the chorus is an acknowledgment that only god can right these wrongs that man has done. there is hope to be drawn from this song i reckon
It's about the situation of violence in Northern Ireland. The people had a quite protest against the violence by wearing white ribbons - much like the AIDS ones - hence White Ribbon Day.
These lyrics are really powerful, especially if you know what's gone down in that country. God has such a heart for those people, and I believe we'll see a major outpouring of his spirit there in the years to come, especially right before Jesus comes back.
its the closest song delirious? have come to actually touching on political issues ala. Bono and U2.. which i know is a rather unfair comparison despite the fact that this has been made numerous times... still it has Martin's trademark lyrical edge to it and is pretty solid musically.
