Can't Turn Away |
| I can hear them crying |
| Tears of all mankind |
| Oh children on the sidewalk |
| Oh before their time |
| There seems to be injustice |
| So many people live in poverty |
| A lack of dedication |
| Oh it’s like a mountain on the streets |
| Oh I just can’t turn away |
| I just can’t turn away 2x |
| A sense of desperation |
| Tears like a dove |
| Said I thought we had religion |
| Why isn’t that enough |
| The sense of mass destruction |
| Always had to ??? |
| Starvation in the third world |
| This isn’t how it’s meant to be |
| Now it’s criminal when you come to think about the world we’re living always on |
| the brink |
| Like a time bomb we can still escape |
| Make a first move it’s not too late |
| Politicians made this mess so let’s clean it out, take a world of stress |
| For the sake of children, you know what I mean |
| Everybody’s got a right to dream 2x |
| It’s like an ocean |
| Ooh you gotta catch the wave |
| Try your best to beat the system |
| Oh before you hit for real |
| Smoke spasm from the oil wells |
| And I can’t see the sun from where I am |
| There’s a breakdown in the ozone |
| This couldn’t be a part of nature’s plan |
