Zero Landmine
Music by Ryuichi Sakamoto
Lyrics by David Sylvian

This is my home The land of my mother
The place I play With sisters and brothers
The tree are rooted in the ground beneath
Take away the violence Give the earth back its peace.

This is our world Our common salvation
It knows no borders It serves no nation
The same sun shines equally On those beneath
Take away the violence Give the earth back its peace.

There's fire in the ground In the space between the trees
In the forests and fields On pathways, in dreams
The stars are whispering To the ground beneath
Take away the darkness Give the earth back its peace.

Who painted the green grass red with danger?
Who colored the big sky blue with sorrow?
A strong wind carrying fear and anger
Came and went and stole tomorrow.

This is my home The land of my mother
The place I play with sisters and brothers
The tree are rooted In the ground beneath
Take away the violence Give the earth back its peace.

The same sun shines equally
On those beneath
Take away the darkness Give the earth back its peace.

Like trees we're rooted In the ground beneath
Take away the violence Give the earth back its peace,
Give the earth back its peace.
