A Voice From The Past Lyrics
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
Entered my head today
Fresh & alive. Full of life, passion
and pain.
A voice now past.
A beautiful soul. Gone, gone, gone.
the living
Talking perfect sense
Used to not being understood
While talking perfect sense to the
next generation
Is it time?
I think it is.
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
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 apathy. Common crime.
Perfect nonsense to the next
generation
Dead yet alive
Gone but shouting anger
Gone but talking perfect sense
Is it time? Well I say it is. I say it is.
Deaf & dumbed-down
Enough is enough
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
im not trying to analize the lyrics here but this song reminds me of meeting up with a long lost friend in the next life and hoping that they still remember that you were the best of friends in the last one.
This song is a little about John Lennon.. well, the memory of such a great writer..he still speaks to us through his songs....he has gone.. but imagined a world were we can understand other people and the suffering they endure.. enough is enough.. we must listen and help them.. imagine if you could feel their pain.. perhaps our soul would understand more..it's time to help and irradiate poverty.. we have excuse.. only our apathy stops us.. when will we wake up. Beautiful song by Mr H.
