Between Two Fires - Paul Young

The sky doesn’t know whether to rain or shine

Doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry

We stand in the middle looking both ways

We don’t know whether we live or we die, caught between two fires

And while the fires burn brightly both sides of the sea

The man in the middle says that he’s been had

Yet they sing «We're safe!

We’re safe!»

to a sweet melody

And here we are in a world gone bad — caught between two fires

Our history calls us and tells us beware

There’s a lesson to learn in what we did before

Do we blindly walk on as if we don’t care?

Do we sit here and ask for more?

— caught between two fires
