Desert Sand lyrics

UB40

You tell me there's no darkness 
While the sun shines down on you 
And just because your life is peaceful 
There's no fighting left to do 
For every cup that runneth over 
Many more are filled with pain 
You talk to me of sunshine 
When it's pouring down with rain 

Just because you can't see it 
Doesn't mean it isn't there 
Just because it can't touch you 
Doesn't mean you shouldn't care 
For every life that's lit with love 
Many more are racked with pain 
You talk to me of sunshine 
When it's pouring down with rain 


(CHORUS) 

It's a long black night, good people 
Descended on our land 
Share your light 
Make a flower grow 
In the desert sand
