We pay to shed a sombre tear
Together in the darkness here
Drive in silence slowly home now
horrors more than skin and bone.
Can you see in 20 years
We'll pay to shed the same cheap tears
Watching the movie we'll ask how the people might have -
Known, and let it happen there without a fight
The 2-minute hate is now the 3-hour love
With action left for God above
400 miles from Darwin
East Timor is dying.
Watching the movie we'll ask how the people might have -
Known, and let it happen there without a fight
