Oh what we are is just
The children of the earth
And we all need a little time with
Her to improve our worth
Well we've all been
Brought together,
To find the answers to
Our distress
Cause it'd be such a
Shame, shame, shame to leave
Our children with nothing left
Why can't we find a way
To break free, and leave our
Material ways, behind
I'll tell you what
We need to do,
Gonna go and find
A little solitude
But it's getting harder,
Getting harder to find
(Pre-Chorus)
That's why I keep looking out
Into the setting sun
Even thought all the lights
Been spent
And if I keep waiting here
Beneath the evening sky
I know the day will
Turn around again
And I'll keep paddling out
Into the ebbing tide
Not knowing where
The water went
When it feels like the world
Has left me high and dry
Well the tide come
Flooding in again
(Chorus)
Oh why can't we get together
Well I know, know know
That we can make it better
Oh, Yes we can, make it better
Yes we can make it better
Why can't we find a way
To break free,
And leave our destructive
Ways behind
I'll tell you what we need to do,
Is go find a little solitude
Cause it's getting harder,
Getting harder to find
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
Why can't we find a way
To break free,
And leave our political
Ways behind
I'll tell you what we need to do,
Is get myself a little solitude
Cause it's getting harder,
Getting harder to find
That's why I keep looking out
Into the setting sun
Even though all the
Lights been spent
And if I keep waiting up beneath
The evening sky
I know the day will
Turn around again
And I keep singing songs
About the summer time
Because it makes the mood
Feel right
And if you feel inclined
Come on and shout it out
And let the truth
Be heard tonight
(Chorus 2x)
