Lyrics Passion - Peter Gabriel

Passion

The brighter thing’s getting to realize your dreams
Brings on the whole world to judge on your scene
I’m trying to ask you to open up your senses
To all the fine things that tear down the fences
Put up by, and kept by those who don’t always listen
To what the father told you they would be missing
Out on in and down on this child’s intervention
This boy never meant nothing but just to give you
All about the passion (X4)
Extra now extra won’t you read all about it
Seems you’ve grown up, turned your life around
Don’t judge him on what the others might say
You’ll be asking him for just one thing some other day
He’s tryin', he’s buyin', he’s got himself the time
And it looks like, and it feels like, he’s doing fine
So won’t you stay back off his line
This boy never meant nothing but just to give you
People, now people, won’t you please understand
This child’s not thinking about what others chance
The rain pouring down on him like harsh blowing sand
Blinding him with darkness it’s no wonder he ran
Back to the old school right now if they’d see him though
They know that he’s brewing up a fresh batch of home stew
Now they’ll sit back and if they only knew
This boy never meant nothing but just to give you
Talkin' 'bout the passion
All about the passion (repeats many times)
