Unfeeling world
2:22:53
Lying in the burned-out shell
2:22:58
Of some Albanian farm
2:23:02
And old Babushka
2:23:04
Holds a crying baby in her arms
2:23:10
A soldier from the other side
2:23:14

Breaks ranks, lays down his rifle
2:23:23

2:23:36
Binds her wounds
2:23:38
And calms the crying child
2:23:42
Her touch gives absolution then
2:23:46
Across the great divide
2:23:50
He picks his way back through
the broken
2:23:54
China of her life
2:23:58
And there at the kerb
