Living In The Line Of Fire

Paddy Kelly

surgeon doctor driving in his
AUDI in the
holy land
a soldier stops him 
for his papers
"open up the trunk" 
he demands
he built a bunker
with his partner up 
in Bethlehem
to treat the patients in cases of the emergency
storming in

to know who's right, who's wrong
depends which side you're on
to know who's right, who's wrong
depends which side you're on

bomb explosion just outside of Westbank
in the early morn 
and bullets blasting a building
where daily little babies are born
a young reporter trying to get the story
for the news back home
captured pictures of
a shot down son
in the crying arms of his mom
to know who's right, who's wrong
depends which side you're on
to know who's right,
who's wrong
depends which side you're on

living in the line
of fire
on either side of the barbwire
living in the line 
of fire
on either side of
the barbwire
in this war

a new peace process
is supposed to bring an end to all the shedded tears
it's hard to stop this turmoil going on
between these countries for years
cause the youth gets driven
by deeply rooted hatred in their bloods
this endless madness escalating conflicts
make me sick in the guts

to know who's right, who's wrong...

living in the line of fire...
living in the line of fire...
the Lord will send his angels down 
thy kingdom come, thy will be done 
on earth as it is up
in heaven
the Lord will send his angels down
someday, us children will be judged
we don't know when,
we must keep watch

to know who's right, who's wrong...
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done...

living in the line 
of fire...
living in the line
of fire...
