A voice from the past
|
Entered my head today
|
Fresh & alive. Full of life, passion and pain.
|
A voice now past.
|
A beautiful soul. Gone, gone, gone.
|
|
Speaking clearly - clearer than the living
|
Talking perfect sense
|
Used to not being understood
|
While talking perfect sense to the next generation
|
|
Have we caught up yet?
|
Is it time?
|
I think it is.
|
Enough is enough
|
Enough is enough
|
|
A voice from the past
|
Entered my head today
|
Tiny child sighed in my ear.
|
Giving up breathing in
|
Over & out
|
Over & out
|
Taken by bad luck & the ill fortune of geography.
|
|
Common cold. Dirty water. HIV.
|
Common apathy. Common crime.
|
Perfect nonsense to the next generation
|
|
Dead yet alive
|
Dead yet alive
|
Gone but shouting anger
|
Gone but talking perfect sense
|
|
Have we caught up yet?
|
Is it time? Well I say it is. I say it is.
|
Deaf & dumbed-down
|
Enough is enough
|
|
Give me a smile. Hold out your hand.
|
I don't want your money
|
I don't want your land
|
Gimme a smile. Hold out your hand.
|
I don't want your money
|
I don't want your land
|
I want you to wake up & do
|
Something strange
|
I want you to listen
|
I want you to feel someone else's pain
|
Someone else's pain
|
Someone else's pain
|
Someone else's pain.
|
|
Deaf & dumbed-down
|
Deaf & dumbed-down
|
|
A tap with clean water
|
