|
Oh what we are is just |
|
the children of the earth |
|
And we all need a little time with |
|
her to improve our worth |
|
Well we've all been |
|
brought together, |
|
to find the answers to |
|
our distress |
|
Cause it'd be such a |
|
shame, shame, shame to leave |
|
our children with nothing left |
|
Why can't we find a way |
|
to break free, and leave our |
|
material ways, behind |
|
I'll tell you what |
|
we need to do, |
|
gonna go and find |
|
a little solitude |
|
but it's getting harder, |
|
getting harder to find |
|
(Pre-Chorus) |
|
That's why I keep looking out |
|
into the setting sun |
|
Even thought all the lights |
|
been spent |
|
And if I keep waiting here |
|
beneath the evening sky |
|
I know the day will |
|
turn around again |
|
And I'll keep paddling out |
|
into the ebbing tide |
|
not knowing where |
|
the water went |
|
When it feels like the world |
|
has left me high and dry |
|
Well the tide come |
|
flooding in again |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Oh why can't we get together |
|
Well I know, know know |
|
that we can make it better |
|
Oh, Yes we can, make it better |
|
Yes we can make it better |
|
Why can't we find a way |
|
to break free, |
|
and leave our destructive |
|
ways behind |
|
I'll tell you what we need to do, |
|
is go find a little solitude |
|
Cause it's getting harder, |
|
getting harder to find |
|
(Pre-Chorus) |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Why can't we find a way |
|
to break free, |
|
and leave our political |
|
ways behind |
|
I'll tell you what we need to do, |
|
is get myself a little solitude |
|
Cause it's getting harder, |
|
getting harder to find |
|
That's why I keep looking out |
|
into the setting sun |
|
Even though all the |
|
lights been spent |
|
And if I keep waiting up beneath |
|
the evening sky |
|
I know the day will |
|
turn around again |
|
And I keep singing songs |
|
about the summer time |
|
Because it makes the mood |
|
feel right |
|
And if you feel inclined |
|
come on and shout it out |
|
And let the truth |
|
be heard tonight |
|
(Chorus 2x) |
