Shame

Everywhere I go I see our shame;
Everywhere I go all I can see is pain;
I see it on the pavements, it's lying in the street,
I see it on the faces of the people I don't meet.
Everywhere I go I hear the sound;
Crying in my head it just goes round and round;
I hear it on the airwaves, it's coming down the wire,
It's starting to consume us like a fire.
But, I'm only dreaming, as you can see.
I don't expect that you should follow me.
The road is lonely, I don't complain,
It's such a shame.
Everywhere I go I feel the love
Washing over me, I just can't get enough;
I hear it in the music, that's coming down through me,
I know there's love between us, if we only set it free.
Everywhere I go I feel the joy,
Hold it in your heart, don't let it be destroyed
'Cos all we need is freedom, all we ask is peace,
All we ask is no-one on their knees.
But, I'm only dreaming, as you can see.
I don't expect that you should follow me.
The road is lonely, I don't complain,
It's such a shame.
'Cos all we need is freedom, all we ask is peace,
All we ask is no-one on their knees.
But, I'm only dreaming, as you can see.
I don't expect that you should follow me.
The road is lonely, I don't complain,
It's such a shame.
