I must have dreamed a thousand
dreams
I've been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
Moving into the street
Did you read the news today
They say the dangers gone away
But I can see the fires still alight
And they're burning into the night
There's too many men
There's too many people
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go around
Just tell me why this is a land of confusion
This is the world we live in
These are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make this a place worth living in, oh yeah
Superman where are you now?
Seems everything's gone wrong somehow
The men of steel, the men of power
Well they're losing control by the hour
This is the time, this is the place
Where we look for the future
And there's not much love to go around
Just tell me why this is the land of confusion
This is the world we live in
These are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make this a place worth living in, oh yeah
Well I remember long, long ago
'Twas when the sun was shining
When the stars were bright
We walked in the night
And the sounds of laughter as I held you tight
So long ago
I won't be coming home tonight
'Cos my generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
You know we'll never keep
Yes this is the world we
live in
These are the names that we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to, oh yeah
