  • Here we are
    In the year 2000
    Looking through glass
    With oxygen masks

    Here we are
    With faces around us
    Expressions unnoticed
    They thought it would last

    Nobody knew
    Where they were heading
    Except for the few who
    Made it all clear

    Nobody knew
    Who's running the white house
    It's painted all black now
    You'd think they would mind

    Now we know
    The stained glass houses
    The motors are gas
    It's all come to pass

    All we ever wanted
    Was clear cool water
    To wash off the stains
    Keep oceans alive

    What destination (here we are, the year 2000)
    I play the game (looking through glass)
    Lord take me now (with oxygen masks)
    It's not the same (here we are, with faces around us, emotions unknowing)
    Here now (they thought it would last)

    Nobody knew
    Where they were going
    Except for the few who
    Had made it all clear

    Nobody knew
    Who's running the white house
    It's painted all black now
    No-one's inside

    There's a hole in the blue sky
    Blind sight, the earth spins
    Find time for me, yeah
    Time to think, and time to pray

    What destination
    I play the game
    Lord take me now

    Here we are
    Ages around us (it's not the same)
    Emotions unknowing
    They thought it would last (here now)

    Nobody knew
    They thought they would lead us
    Except for the few who
    Thought they knew
    Guess it's all clear
    It's all for the money
    Peace with your neighbors
    Join in the war

    There's a hole in the blue sky
    There's a hole in the blue sky Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
