little river band
when cathedrals were white
The world goes to war But who is it for? Can we sleep in our beds at night? And remember the pain And not want to regain When cathedrals were white  You know I still think of you And all we went through But the years have now faded the light Is your love still the same As it was on that day When cathedrals were white?  All those onward Christian soldiers Fighting onward Christian wars Are you surprised when you discover Just what they're fighting for?  We run through the rain And we get through the pain And we teach all our kids wrong from right But can we ever say That we love like the day When cathedrals were white?  All those leaders and cheaters Disguise their deeds with a smile So nonchalant, as they turn to tell you All your thoughts are on file  And who is to blame That we've come to this day When no one remembers what it was like? Back when honesty reigned When we loved not for gain,  When cathedrals were white?  When cathedrals were white
