about

The world is a mess, this is my simple view - we're all different but let's all just get on with each other. I write this a few years ago and nothing much has changed.

lyrics

Ten o’clock Sunday morning
I’m lying in my room
I hear the church bells ringing
but they don’t lift my gloom
Lookin’ out the window
I see the people going down to pray
They’re looking for salvation
no matter what they say
But we just…

Need somebody to hold me tight
Tell me everything’s gonna be alright
Need somebody to hold me tight
Tell me everything’s gonna be alright
I feel alone/so alone
(That’s why I) need somebody to hold me tight

There’s a man across the water
Says he wants to build a wall
Bring back jobs from China
Make things great for all
Spends weekend in Florida
Got high rise building and a private plane
Says he stands for the people
But we got fooled again
That’s why I…

You know the whole worlds crazy
Torn apart with rage and pain
“my God’s not your God
“so we must kill again”
There’s one God or no God
The differences are all by men
Why can’t we love our neighbours
Peace and Love to them
That’s why I…
