If i told you what i'd seen, would you believe me
or leave me alone
if i told you what i feel, would you believe me
or leave me alone
razor wire on the street every corner
ninety degrees at six in the morning
boilin' water for the tea of a nation
plantin' seeds for the next generation
run like mad just to make a connection
pack whatcha need for your own protection
dance to the rhythm of the wheels on the street
long, long strides on the hot concrete
hello, hello
does anybody need a place to go?
to call your own (X2)
numbers go and the numbers come
try your best makin' two outta one
work all day in the mid-day sun
break your back 'til the night time comes
sing for your bread and sing for your water
sing for your sons and sing for your daughters
sing for your pops and sing for your mamas
sing for your breakfast, pray for ya supper
hello, hello
does anybody need a place to go?
to call your own (X2)
to call your own, to call your own
ya ya, dont leave me here alone (X3)
dont leave me here alone!
hello, hello
does anybody need a place to go?
to call your own (X2)
to call your own...
hello, hello
does anybody need a place to go?
to call your own (X2)
to call your own, to call your own
would you beleive me?would you believe me?(to call your own)
your not alone, no your not alone, would you beleive me? would you beleive me? i know your not alone, cause your not alone
