Lyrics
I can?t say that I understand
But I?d like to do what I can
Forgive me if I sound ignorant
But I?ve never seen anything like this so
I?ll make a phone call
I?ll write a letter
I know this life could be so much better
I?ll check the headlines
Sing at a vigil
But all my actions stay on this soil still so
I?ll send my hope to a land I?ll never see
This prayer may be small but stretches
ACROSS THE SEA
You don?t have to share what you?ve seen
The nightmares that stole every single dream
There?s not much I can provide
But taste one moment?s peace, you?re on the other side
We put up posters
We made donations
We beseeched the United Nations
They used some big words
Talked till they?d had their fill
But all our inaction stayed on this soil still so
I?ll send my hope to a land I?ll never see
This prayer may be small but stretches
ACROSS THE SEA
Yes, I?ll send my hope to a land I?ll never see
This prayer may be small, but it stretches
ACROSS THE SEA
