Album: View from the Hill

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
