Sarajevo ft. Dia Frampton Songtext
von Watsky

And they wonder what our parents say
And they wonder how we′ll raise our children
And they tell me that I'm living with a monster
And they whisper that she took up with a villain
But I don′t see dragon scales
And I don't see claws and fangs
All I'm looking at is arms that hold me
Brown eyes that understand
And when she closes those eyes one final time
No pipers came
But I know I got a love that′s truer
Than a Military sniper′s aim
But we won't die in vain
Tie that chain around my waist
And pull me from the bottom of the pit of hell
Up to your final resting place
Sarajevo, Sarajevo
You′re the alter that I pray to
God is love and love is all we have
We were trying to run from the city


Had the hope and the pride of the kids
People want to put up walls to divide us
Kind of fitting that we died on a bridge
Same souls, both sides of the banks
They say we're different
And they′re fillin' in the facts
But they put the same metal in the bullets
And they put the same bullets in our backs
Kind of love that we got is one in a mil
Ain′t no God that I pray to would want to kill
It's not God, but it's fear and it′s politics and a molotov
That was lit with a dollar bill
Don′t say all is lost
Escape this holocaust
My God, Allah, my darling
Star and cresent and my cross!
Sarajevo, Sarajevo
You're the alter that I pray to
God is love and love is all we have
Sarajevo, Sarajevo
I will honor and be faithful
God is love and love is all we have
Where do we come from?
Where do we go?
You could fill up a sea
With the things I don′t know
But I know what I feel
And I know when it's real
And I hope that we heal
We′re two drops of the blood and the tears
Over thousands of years of the clash of the steel
I'm not blind to the cycle
We′re pressed in the spine of a Bible
They define the divine by the title
But what did Christ say?
"To be kind to my rival."
You're my kind of revival
It's true, ya
My favorite Hallelujah!
You my, you my favorite Hallelujah!

Sarajevo, Sarajevo
You′re the altar that I pray to
God is love and love is all we have
Yeahhhh
Sarajevo, Sarajevo
I will honor and be faithful
God is love and love is all we have
Yeahhhhh
God is love and love is all we have
