If We Should Ignore This
De/Vision Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What will be left over
If we should ignore the dirty air again
What will be left over
If we should ignore the danger in the land

Don't look away now
Let them live in peace and try to understand
Don't look away now
Let us stay here, take them by your hands

And one day
We have to explain
The world full of pain
It will never be the same again

But now it's not too late
'cause they have named the day
To rescue our world from pain
More than once I hear them say
That it's nowhere near enough
There is more than that
I knew two words
Through ignorance
It's time for you to go

Don't look away now
If we should ignore the dirty air again
Don't look away now
If we should ignore the dangers in our land
Don't look away now
Let them live in piece and try to understand
Don't look away now
Let us stay here, take them by your hands





Don't look away...
