"Under The Gun" Lyrics [edit]
by Cliff Richard | from the album Yesterday Today Forever - The Top 30 Christian Songs
 

(Thankyou very much indeed. Thankyou)

Looking at a baby's face, I saw the plight of the human race: dying to survive,
Shaken by the irony, the anger rose inside of me and would not...would not subside.

I thought, "You're too young to understand, but the fate of every mortal man rests in someone's mortal hand tonight,"
In the nuclear insanity, there's a death watch on the land and sea...and I believe that we may never live our lives.

We were born under the gun and, just like every mother's son, we are hostage to the megaton...and the world could die tonight,
Under the gun,
We live in fear that the end will come, but there's one place to run: run to the Son.

Everyone can see that the hour is late, and every soul on Earth got to demonstrate their loving if we're to survive,
'Cause we're tired of living on the brink,
Scared to death that our ship will sink at the winking of an eye.

This course we're on's a big mistake, 'cause we all lose in the nuclear race,
It's time to show all the heads of state that we believe,
Oh, we believe that we're fighting for our lives.

We were born under the gun and, just like every mother's son, we are hostage to the megaton...and the world could die tonight,
Under the gun,
We live in fear that the end will come, but there's one place to run: run to the Son.

We were born under the gun and, just like every mother's son, we are hostage to the megaton...and the world could die tonight,
Under the gun,
We live in fear that the end will come, but there's one place to run: run to the Son.

There's a finger on the button, but if it's pressed we're not forgotten,
Millions speak, feel no fear,
The route to change is in ascendance here,
There's a finger on the button, but if it's pressed we're not forgotten,
Come on, millions speak, feel no fear,
The route of change is in ascendance here,
There's a finger on the button, but if it's pressed we're not forgotten,
There's a finger on the button, but if it's pressed we're not forgotten.
