(Butcher / Somerville)

|
How high a mountain must I climb
|
To reach for air
|
To breath the air so clear so pure
|
Could blow my mind
|
In my mind there is a place
|
For everyone for every taste
|
But in this life reality can shoot you dead
|
For the colour of your face
|
|
We can't all believe in the Lord on high
|
But it's our love that stops us crying
|
We can't change the fact
|
We are born to die
|
We can't all profess to know how or why
|
But keep on reaching don't stop trying
|
|
I've seen a poison river flow
|
A land where nothing grows
|
I've watched the men of fascist mind
|
Kill in the name of love
|
The futile war the human crime
|
The sacred scream just biding time
|
And who are we to take in vain
|
This precious world I'm full of shame
|
|
We can't run and hide as hard as we try
|
We can't all believe in the Lord on high
|
But it's our love that stops us crying
|
We can't change the fact
|
We are born to die
|
We can't all profess to know how or why
|
But keep on reaching don't stop trying
|
|
If the dreams gone wrong
|
Let your heart be strong
|
If the dreams gone wrong
|
|
Don't let hope fade away
|
|
And who are we to take in vain
|
The precious world I'm full of shame
|
|
We can't run and hide as hard as we try
|
We can't all believe in the Lord on high
|
But it's our love that stops us crying
|
We can't change the fact
|
We are born to die
|
We can't all profess to know how or why
|
But keep on reaching don't stop trying
|
