Lyrics

[Intro]
I'd like to dedicate this next song
To those who lost their lives
In London, in the UK bombings last week
And in Iraq
[Intro]
I want to turn our song into a prayer
And our prayer is that we- they, we
Do not become a monster
In order to defeat a monster
That's our prayer
[Verse 1]
Is there a time for keeping your distance?
A time to turn your eyes away?
Is there a time for keeping your head down?
For getting on with the day?
[Verse 2]
Is there a time for kohl and lipstick?
A time for cutting hair?
Is there a time for high street shopping?
To find the right clothes to wear
[Chorus]
Here she comes
Oh, oh, heads turn around
Here she comes
To take her crown
[Verse 3]
Is there a time to run for cover?
A time for kiss and tell?
Is there a time for different colours?
Different names you find so hard to spell
[Verse 4]
Is there a time for First Communion?
A time for synagogue?
Is there a time to turn to Mecca?
A beauty queen before God
[Chorus]
Here she comes
Oh, oh, beauty plays the clown
Here she comes
Surreal in her crown
[Bridge]
Dice che il fiume trova la via al mare
Che come il fiume giungerai a me
Oltre i confini e le terre assetate
Dici che come il fiume
Come il fiume
[Bridge]
L'amore giungerà
L'amore
E non so più pregare
E quell'amore non so più sperare
E quell'amore non so più aspettare
[Verse 5]
Is there a time to share values?
A time to turn aside?
Is there a time
A time for human rights?
