"Won't Stand Down (Dark-Side Mix)"

A million mothers looking forward
They're all looking out ahead
In the haze they can make out a planet
Alive, or was it dead?
Moving out in so many directions
The inhabitants have lost their nerve
And servants of the people
Have forgotten how to serve

This is not the way we want to live
It's not the way it has to be
This is not the way we want to live
It's not the way it has to be

But we won't stand down
Until there's something better showing on the ground
No, we won't stand down
Until the job is done

Could containers, maps and mirrors
Hold all the human race?
While the smartest minds on the planet
Have no human face
But we could feel there was something growing
Cooling the angry heat
It was growing hearts and minds around the world
That no army could defeat

This is not the way we want to live
It's not the way it has to be
This is not the way we want to live
It's not the way it has to be

'Cause we won't stand down
Until there's something better appearing on the ground
No, we won't stand down
Until the job is done
The job is done
No,we won't stand down
Until we have something solid
Solid on the ground
No, we won't stand down
Until the job is done
The job is done

We won't stand down
Until there's something better
Better on the ground
No, we won't stand down
Until the job is done
I said we won't stand down
Until we have something solid on the ground
No, we won't stand down
Until the job is done

And we're walking
Walking in a straight line
And we're moving
Moving all together
And we're walking
Walking to a life we can believe in
As every [?], the cries are buried
But the spirit calls inside us
And there's no way here to hide us
And every drop of water falls
And slowly wears away the walls between us
Between us
And we won't...
