Downwind there is a comin'

A rumble in the sand

Sets our feet to running

For the fear of the faceless man

For the fear of the faceless man

But if I had an arsenal and if it was ten feet tall

Then I would put an end to it all

And if I had wheat to burn

And if I had a lot to learn

Then it still would not matter what color you were

And if I had but one wish on which to stand

I’d wish the weapons all turn to sand

I’d see the gunners watch their empty hands

Fall down to their sides

Downwind they come up lonely

All hungry for the kill

The horses do the pounding

But it’s a blood that’s going to spill

It’s a dark blood that’s going to spill

But if I had an arsenal and if it was ten feet tall

Then it wouldn’t matter what color you were

And if I had but one wish on which to stand

I’d see the weapons all turn to sand

I’d see the gunners watch their empty hands

Fall down to their sides

If I had but one wish on which to stand

I’d have the weapons all leave Sudan

I’d see the gunners wash their empty hands

Down by the riverside

Ghost town in my homeland

I will come back again

And if you make a ghost of me

I will still be free

Ghost town in my homeland

I will come back again

If you make a ghost out of me

I will still be free

If I had but one wish on which to stand

I’d see the weapons all leave this land

I’d see the gunners watch their empty hands

Fall down to their sides

If I had but one wish on which to stand

I’d see the weapons all leave Sudan

I’d see the gunners wash their empty hands

Down by the riverside

Down by the riverside

Down by the riverside
