Million Miles Away

I see my brother
In a far-off eastern land
He's only one of a billion
Who's working hard for his children
He trusts his leaders
Who lay down the "party line"
He's spent a lifetime denying
The voice inside of him crying

Faith
It seems a million miles away
You know I heard my brother say
He's saying faith
It seems a million miles away
You know I heard my brother say

I see my sister
In a distant, burning land
She's only one of the millions
Who have no food for their children
She sees her future
In her dying baby's eyes
This life was not of her choosing
She knows she's finally losing

Hope
It seems a million miles away
You know I heard my sister say
She's saying hope
It seems a million miles away
You know I heard my sister say, yeah

I see my brother
In a strange and distant land
He wears his picture of Lenin
He has a desk at the kremlin
He says he lives his life
To serve the "Common Man"
But it's so hard to be selfless
Without the grace of forgiveness

Love
It seems a million miles away
You know I heard my brother say
He's saying love
It seems a million miles away
You know I heard my brother say
Ooh, yeah

Million miles away
Million miles away
Million miles away
Love, it seems a million miles away

I see my brother
Who lived in my hometown
He never was a believer
He couldn't follow the preacher
And I was too scared
To tell my friend of Jesus' love
They found his suicide message
I hear the words that his note said

His note said, God
You seemed a million miles away
You know I heard my brother say
He's saying, God
You seemed a million miles away
You know I heard my brother say

Love
It seems a million miles away
You know I heard my brother say
He's saying love
It seems a million miles away
You know I heard my brother say...
