Silent Ruin Lyrics - Gaia - Olivia Newton-john

Wash the blood from my hands 

Take the pain from my heart 

I just can't understand 

What it is that we do 

What's the thread running through 

The heritage of man 

How can I justify to my child what we're doing 

When I can't explain it myself 

And if I close my eyes to the wild silent ruin 

Then I'm just like everyone else

Wash this blood from my hands 

Take this pain from my heart 

I just can't understand 

What it is that we do 

What's the thread running through 

The heritage of man 

And I cry for their beauty I cry for their pain 

And I cry that my child may not see them again 

Will I leave her a legacy she's being denied 

Oh I pray that we will when I kiss her goodnight 

How can I justify to my child what we're doing 

When I can't explain it myself 

And if I close my eyes to the wild silent ruin 

Then I'm just like everyone else

Oh I dream of a time in the future 

When we can renurture the damage we've done 

For although there's a dark side to all human nature 

Our true selves are born in the sun 

Our true selves are born in the sun 

Please explain to me what we have done
