Notes c a single notes of the lead singer
Choir g e second voice
Sandalwood trees are evergreen cut them down plant coffee beans

let ignorance rule leave them stranded on their island
treat them to the tune of silence

red is the cross that covers our shame every kingdom eve..ry land
d | | o | | | | o
has its heart in the common man si..lently the tide
dddddddd
shifts the sand
bury my heart on East-Timor in coral sands on golden shores
buried are those who lived their lives no place to hide for
father and child leave them stranded on their island
treat them to the tune of silence
d o | | | | o
we shake the hands that kill and forgive..... every kingdom eve..ry land
d | | o | | | | o
has its heart in the common man si..lently the tide
dddddd
shifts the sand
bury my heart on East-Timor on barren graves where flowers won't grow
blooms our Red cross lovingly this nightingale deed
o
now we can be free stranded on their island
dd
this army of the silent
d o | | | | o
we toast our own goodwill and forge.....t every kingdom eve..ry land
d | | o | | | | o
has its heart in the common man si..lently the tide
dddddddd
shifts the sand
dddddddddddddddd
