The World
Album - 1991 - Debaser id 58789

Was it you I saw standing naked at the
doorway of some other world?
Was it you I saw who held the burning torch up
high screaming to be heard?
From the cradle to the grave you gave your
heart and soul for broken dreams and promises
You can't remember who to blame and hid the
shame we were the children of the revolution

I've searched the back roads of my life
Asking myself the questions
But now I'm back again
How have you been?
We've got to get on with the show
It's everything that we've ever known
'cos we got nowhere else to go

Give me, give me, give me, give me, give me
give me a little piece of your heart
Give me, give me, give me, give me, give me
give me just a little piece of your life
From the cradle to the grave we gave our hearts
and souls for broken dreams and promises
You can't remember who to blame and hid the
shame we were the children of the revolution

The mysteries of the human race
Our lives emotional junkyards
I now know what I was looking for
And we've got to get on with the show
It's everything that we've ever known
'cos we got nowhere else to go

Stuck between a rock and a hard place
The strain shows on your face
Find a place to call your home
Choose a reason not to roam
The patience of a saint is now
The courage of a lion and sieze the day

Long winding road where will you lead me?
As far west as man can go before he starts heading east
San Francisco, but where from there?
Out on the ocean where the dreamers go
Where the moonlight dolphins play
'cos I know where my spirit's free
I know where my destiny takes me
I know where my spirit's free
Into the heart of America
Into the arms of a new world
Into the heart of a new world dream, and free

And Thursday's child has got a long, long way to go
And Thursday's child has got a long, long way to go
And Thursday's child has got a long, long way to go

For those who seek shall be those who find
To push back the boundaries forever for mankind
The boy who made his mark in the world today
So spread your wings and fly away
Copper green Victorian looking out to sea
The first footsteps in India is where my ship takes me
I'm a wandering stranger just trying to find some answers for me
I know where my spirit's free
Into the heart of America
Into the arms of a new world
Into the heart of a new world dream... and free

I put my hand to my head and I look to the sea and think
Thursday's child has got a long long way to go

And we'll go hunting deer up in the mountains where
The air is clear, far from the madding crown we left behind us
And you will see the unicorn no more

And we'll go hunting deer high in the mountains where
Man always kills what he fears
And all God's creatures will find safe sanctuary no more
And you will see man bring another race to its knees

And you can torture me, poison me and blind me no more
'cos I've gone to the other side
And you will see that the time will come
To take your brothers home again

And we'll go hunting deer up in the mountains where
The air is clear and when my eyes can see no more
When will you let us go?
And you will see in the moments of darkness who will stand by me

And you can torture me, poison me and trap me no more
'cos I've gone to the other side
And you will see that the time has come
To take our brothers home again
And you will see that the time has come
To take our brothers home again
