Desert Sand Lyrics - Promises & Lies - 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
