Bedtime Story

Tony Carey

I am standing on a mountain


I am scared out of my wits


I am hungry for companions


I have had my fill of this


I am waiting for a signal


I am praying that it comes


I will fly down from this mountain


I will shine just like the sun





But I don´t see the point of always


crawling on my knees


give up a little they want it all


they take just they please





We will meet them on the beaches


we will fight them in the fields


we will let this mountain teach us


we might fall but we don´t yield


I have got no taste for glory


I just want to live in peace


this is not a bedtime story


it´s not beauty and the beast





There has always been a valley


there were always strangers here


this is not a new conception


it goes back one thousand years





But I don´t see the point of always


crawling on my knees


give up a little they want it all


they take just what they please





(repeat chorus)





and it just goes on forever...
