blue skies (song for afghanistan)

from unfinished thoughts (album) by the caretakers

lyrics

Blue skies in a daylight daydream
Freedom fighters, fighting for you and me
In the name of the twenty-first century (you're gonna see)
Blue skies in a daylight daydream

Breakdown at the border crossing lines
Playgrounds of guns and mortar and might
Shakedown of law and order tonight (there's gonna be)
Breakdown at the border crossing lines

Chorus

Peacemaking here, there and everywhere
There’s a fever, feel it risin’ in the air
So fragile got to handle with loving care or it will be
War weeping, no peacekeeping anywhere

Chorus
