Lyrics
WARNING CALL Copyright 2006 (c) Eric Severson News clips licensed for commercial use through Audiosparx Am G In the spoils of war, in the counting of gold; Am G In the homeless and poor, lying hungry and cold; Am G In a Hollywood star, staring into her mirror; F G Am There’s a warning call, that we don’t hear. Am G In the castles of kings, in the squalor below; Am G In a conference room, in the CEO; Am G In a dictator’s dreams, in a self-righteous sneer; F G Am There’s a warning call, that we don’t hear. (CHORUS) C G Sometimes I dream, I can rise above the world; Dm Am Looking down, we seem so small; C G Sometimes I think, that we could change; F G Am Am If we could hear, the warning call. Am G In the husband and wife, in the fighting at night; Am G In the talk of divorce; in the need to be right; Am G In a child who wakes up, to the screams and the tears; F G Am Am There’s a warning call, that we don’t hear. Am G In the selling of arms, in the buying of oil; Am G In a drug deal gone bad, in the hand gun’s recoil; Am G In a suicide bomb, in the culture of fear; F G Am There’s a warning call, that we don’t hear. (CHORUS) C G Sometimes I dream, I can see beyond the world; Dm Am Looking down, we seem so small; C G Sometimes I think, that we could change; F G Am Am If we could hear, the warning call.
