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 on 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
