Ruben Blades - The Calm Before The Storm letra de (lyrics)

There was a time when ignorance
Made our innocence strong
There was a time when we all
Thought we could do no wrong
There was a time, so long ago
But here we are, in the calm before the storm

While the orchestra plays
They build barricades to help close the doors
While the musician sings
The holocaust rings the cymbals of war
We stare at the things that were there
And no longer are - and in our hearts
Here we are again
In the calm before the storm

There was a time when we had
An idea whose time hadn't come
They kept changing it's name so
We could still pretend
It was not really gone
We heard our screams turn into songs
And back into screams again
And here we are again
In the calm before the storm
