Paroles de Sarajevo

In the town of Sarajevo, there's an old medieval square There's a church aside one corner most believe was always there It was built a thousand years before any now were born And its glory was its belfry with its stones all gray...and worn Now there's a gargoyle on that belfry and he's been up there for years And he has watched and he has pondered: "What is laughter, what are tears?" And he's never found his answers as he sees the years go by But he watches and he wonders with his stone unblinking eyes
