Lyrics

If blood will flow, and flesh and steel are one
Drying in the color of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds, oh Lord, will always stay
We're so fragile
Oh, yes we are
We're so fragile
Just as the stars
Perhaps this final act was mean
To clinch a lifetime's argument
Nothing comes from violence
I said that nothing ever could, oh no
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget, we just can't quite forget how fragile we are
Oh, on and on (on and on)
The rain will fall (the rain will fall)
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on (on and on)
The rain will say (the rain will say)
How fragile we are (how fragile we are)
How fragile we are (how fragile we are)
We're so fragile
We're so fragile
We're so fragile
We're so fragile
We gotta save the world, all the boys and girls
Let's stop the pain, and never the rain
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence
(Nothing comes, nothing comes)
I know that nothing ever could, oh, no
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget, we can't forget how fragile we are
Oh, on and on (on and on)
The rain will fall (the rain will fall)
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on (on and on)
The rain is gonna say (the rain will say)
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
On and on and on and on (on and on)
The rain's gonna fall (the rain will fall)
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star (just like tears from a star)
On and on (on and on)
The rain is gonna say (the rain will say)
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
How fragile we are, how fragile we are (we are so fragile)
How fragile we are, how fragile we are (yeah, we are so fragile)
How fragile we are, how fragile we are (we are the same, yes, we fragile)
How fragile we are
