Olivia Newton-John - Silent Ruin Lyrics
Wash the blood from my hands
Take the pain from my heart
I just can't understand
What it is that we do
What's the thread running through
How can I justify to my child what we're doing
When I can't explain it myself
And if I close my eyes to the wild silent ruin
Then I'm just like everyone else
And I cry for their beauty; I cry for their pain
And I cry that my child may not see them again
Will I leave her a legacy she's being denied
Oh I pray that we will when I kiss her goodbye
How can I justify to my child what we're doing
When I can't explain it myself
And if I close my eyes to the wild silent ruin
Then I'm just like everyone else
Oh I dream of a time in the future
When we can renurture the damage we've done
For although there's a dark side to all human nature
Our true selves are born in the sun
Our true selves are born in the sun
Please explain to me what we have done

Olivia Newton-John Silent Ruin Comments
And the whole #silentruin - has a lot of Chloe in it!
And there is something about "Close to the wild side" - where close is a verb and not an adjective/preposition.
I’m looking for the song and artist where there is at the intro pigs screaming from the slaughterhouse... Does anyone know this song please ?
Thank you.
Maybe it's Meat is Murder by The Smiths?
Richardz Reality thank you for your answer. But that is not the song. I know that is was very specific and did go straight to the bones.... It thought that the band/ singer had a F &O in their name..... I knew that I had to write it down then......
Ahhhhh, how I LOVE this song, as well as the entire album!! Very fitting, given the political climate.. :-( ...peace
AMAZING SONG BY OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN !!!
so pity that this album is such underrated
Olivia, this is such a hauntingly beautiful song about mankind's sad decline, but yet there is still hope that someday man and nature can live in harmony.....
