Helen Gibson - Song for the world

Every morning
when I wake up
I'm already too late

'cause I can't sleep at night
always having this dream I hate:

I see wars and people dying
their friends with tears in their eyes
I see rich people sighing
and telling lots of lies

this can't go on
oh no
this can't go on

Refrain:

I want to sing a song
for the world
It might be better some day
we must try and find a way
I want to sing a song for the world

And then when I watch the news
what I see I can't stand:
Peoples' houses being burnt down
'cause they're from a strange land

Unemployment everywhere
oh - what can we do?
Now don't just look away
'cause I'm talking especially to you!

this can't go on
oh no
this can't go on

Refrain

Crime, pollution, war, bombs and hunger - everywhere
Torture, drugs, racism, hate and killing - don't you care?

Refrain
