Lyrics
I wait to the river, but the river was dry
I saw a little bird that caught my eye
Keep on running, where you're going?
I tell you something, I think's worth knowing
Cities come and cities go
Time could move fast, and time could move slow
You've only got two arms on your shoulders
Don't throw your hands up only to cry
Don't throw (yeah), don't throw (yeah)
Don't throw your hands up only to cry
Don't throw (yeah), don't throw (yeah)
Don't throw your hands up only to cry
Don't throw (yeah), don't throw (yeah)
Don't throw your hands up only to cry
Don't throw (yeah), don't throw (yeah)
Don't throw your hands up only to cry now
I went to the mountain, what did I see?
A white beard man with a colour TV
He said, "can you believe these kids today
Half of them are murderers, and half of them pray
For what? For what? I can't reply
You sit, and you stare as they pass you by"
The rivers, the mountains, the parallel sea
Oh man, oh man, now listen to me
Don't throw (yeah), don't throw (yeah)
Don't throw your hands up only to cry
Don't throw (yeah), don't throw (yeah)
Don't throw your hands up only to cry
Don't throw (yeah), don't throw (yeah)
Don't throw your hands up only to cry
Don't throw (yeah), don't throw (yeah)
Don't throw your hands up only to cry (yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
Cry now (yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-)
Why not, if love a little bit harder?
You sons don't mind the sins of your fathers
Well then, I'm dancing up in the sky now
Why not live life a little bit-?
Don't throw your hands up only to cry
Don't throw (yeah), don't throw (yeah)
Don't throw your hands up only to cry
Don't throw (yeah), don't throw (yeah)
Don't throw your hands up only to cry
Don't throw (don't throw), don't throw (don't throw)
Don't throw your hands up-
Don't throw (yeah), don't throw (yeah)
Don't throw (yeah), don't throw your hands-
Only to cry (yeah-yeah, yeah-), only to cry (yeah, yeah-yeah-)
