When they came to this land
We gave our friendship
Gave them our hands
But it was never to be
Oh! You must bow down
They said, "Fall to your knees"
Oh! Diamond sun has to burn
Oh! Are we never to learn
CHORUS:
Love gives life and life is love
But what have we done
We have walked on this earth
Since the first star was shining
And the moon had its birth
But as with the shadows
Of lonely trees
We are in bondage
But are hearts are still free
Oh! Diamond sun has to burn
Oh! Are we never to learn
Still diamond sun has to burn
Oh! Are we never to learn
Still diamond sun has to burn
In my heart I believe
Someday the sun will shine
And you shall be free
And bless our children as they're
Put to the test
You'll hear the heartbeat
Of a nation's unrestLove will save you when the ocean splits itself in two
Love will save you when the cold wind blows right through you
Love will save you when the poison eats the precious air
And love will save you from the snake that crawls around down there
But it won't save me
Love will save you from the evil and the greed of ignorant men
And love will save you from the guilt you feel when you
betray your only friend
Love will save you from yourself when you lose control
And love will save you from all the lies your lover ever told you
But it won't save me
Love will save you from the truth when you think you're free
Love will save you from the cold light of boring reality
Love will save you from the corruption of your lazy-minded soul
And love will save you from your selfish and distorted goals
But it won't save me
Love will save you from the black night and the lightning and the ghost
Love will save you from your misery, then tie you to the bloody post
Love will save you from the hands that pull you down beneath the sea
Love may save all you people, but it will never, never save me
No it won't save me
