Letra Fragile

A música Fragile foi escrita por Sting refletindo sobre a morte prematura de um amigo americano, Ben Linder, que morreu na Nicarágua ao tentar ajudar a enfrentar os problemas de fornecimento de água durante a guerra civil. A letra trata da fragilidade da vida e a mensagem de paz.

 If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence
and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are
