Lyrics
SANCTUARY © 2001 Ian Rushton & Virginia Parslow Woke this morning in a sweat, from a dream I can’t forget, In this dream I was dying. Shaken now I catch my breath, having seen a kind of death, That was cruel and terrifying. Chorus My body burned, the sky was red, I longed for water but the rivers were dead, I ran for cover from a poison rain, While Earth cried out in anguish and pain. I tell myself it’s just a dream, yet I feel a silent scream growing, and my head is spinning I tremble as I look around - dying seas, scoured ground, I realize the nightmare’s just beginning Chorus My body burns, the sky is red, I long for water but the rivers are dead, I run for cover from a poison rain, While Earth cries out in anguish and pain. Sanctuary, sanctuary Earth cries out with an agonizing sound Sanctuary, sanctuary Lay down your weapons of money and of power Sanctuary, hear her cry, Sanctuary, don’t let me die.
