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 in 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



(refrain)

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



(refrain)



'Cos all we need is freedom, all we ask is peace

All we ask is no one on their knees



(refrain
