For Sophie [This Beautiful Day] lyrics

You walk the university

Your suitcase in your hand

High upon the landing

By your brother's side you stand

The voices of the innocents

Echo 'round the hall

Flowering truth on paper

Sophie makes the petals fall

The greatest act of love

To your country and your friends

Is to stand up for the righteous cause

And give your life for them

You could have lied or made a deal

You could have walked away

But the wall of shame would bear your name

And that's too much to pay

These are the eyes

Of the child you saved

Aryan blue

Hebrew brown and grey

These are the hands

That in gratitude pray

For Sophie's life

On this beautiful day

Seven sermons, seven lessons

Seven calls to arms

To the workers in the factories

The workers on the farms

One life for ten thousand when

Good hearts 'gainst evil stand

Your future's only safe as this one heart

And these two hands

These are the eyes

Of the child you saved

Aryan blue

Hebrew brown and grey

These are the hands

That in gratitude pray

For Sophie's life

On this beautiful day

Sophie at the window

Sophie lights the lamps

To free her country, spread the word

Sophie buys the stamps

And in the jail one final kiss

Her brother and her friend

To end in terror's better than

A terror without end

These are the eyes

Of the child you saved

Aryan blue

Hebrew brown and grey

These are the hands

That in gratitude pray

For Sophie's life

On this beautiful day

The brilliant child of Germany

Has turned his mind to war

He hears the windows breaking but

He doesn't know what for

The ghetto's strangely quiet just

The constant trains go by

But Sophie takes his hands

And Sophie opens up his eyes

These are the eyes

Of the child you saved

Aryan blue

Hebrew brown and grey

These are the hands

That in gratitude pray

For Sophie's life

On this beautiful day

These are the eyes

Of the child you saved

Aryan blue

Hebrew brown and grey

These are the hands

That in gratitude pray

For Sophie's life

On this beautiful day

For Sophie's life

On this beautiful day
