| Lyrics:Olivia Newton-John Music: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 | |
| 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 goodbye | |
| 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 |

| 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 | |
| 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 goodbye | |
