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 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

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
