There's a story going round
And it started long ago
And everyone keeps telling it
In places high and low
And because my heart is weary
I really want to know
Is it true what they say is it true?
Is it true there is magic
That we have never known?
Is it true there are powers
That we can call our own?
Is it true there is someone
Whose wonders stand alone?
Is it true what they say is it true?
Is it true?
Not because they told me so
Is it true?
Not because the story's old
Is it true?
Not until you really know
Is it true?
Not until you
White Feather
(Fish / Marillion)
When I hit the streets back in '81
Found a heart in the gutter and a poet's crown
I felt barbed wire kisses and icicle tears
Where have I been for all these years?
I saw political intrigue, political lies
Gonna wipe those smiles of self-satisfaction from their eyes
I will wear your white feather I will carry your white flag
I will swear I have no nation but I'm proud to own my heart
I will wear your white feather I will carry your white flag
I will swear I have no nation but I'm proud to own my heart
My heart, this is my heart
We don't need no uniforms, we have no disguise
Divided we stand, together we'll rise
We will wear your white feather
ALL THE CHILDREN
We will carry your white flag
We will swear we have no nations
Beirut children
But we're proud to own our hearts
Jeruzalem children
We will wear your white feather
Tokio children
We will carry your white flag
Moscow children
We will swear we have no nations
Washington children
But we're proud to own our hearts
Munich children
These are our hearts
Chicago children
These are our hearts
Cairo children
You can't take away our hearts ...
You can't steal our hearts away
I can't walk away I can't walk away
No more, no more, no more, no more...
