Oh, what we are is just the children of the Earth
And we all need a little time with her to improve our worth
Well, we've all been brought to together, to find the answers of our distress
Cause it'd be such a shame, shame, shame to leave our children with nothing left
Why can't we find a way to break free and leave our material ways behind?
I'll tell you what we need to do, gonna go and find a little solitude
But it's getting harder, getting harder to find
(pre-Chorus)
That's why I keep looking out into the setting sun
Even through all the lights been spent
And if I keep waiting here beneath the evening sky I know the day will turn around again
And I'll keep paddling out into the ebbing tide not knowing where the water went
When it feels like the world has left me high and dry
Well, the tide come flooding in again, yeah
(Chorus)
Oh why can't we get together
Well I know, know know that we can make it better
Oh, Yes we can, make it better
Yes, we can make it better (repeated)
Why can't we find a way to break free, and leave our destructive ways behind
I'll tell you what we need to do, is go find a little solitude
Cause it's getting harder, getting harder to find
(pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
Why can't we find a way to break free, and leave our political ways behind
I'll tell you what we need to do, is get myself a little solitude
Cause it's getting harder, getting harder to find
That's why I keep looking out into the setting sun
Even though all the lights been spent
And if I keep waiting up beneath the evening sky I know the day will turn around again
And I keep singing songs about the summer time
Because it makes the mood feel right
And if you are feel inclined come on and shout it out
And let the truth be heard tonight
(Chorus 2x)
And we all need a little time with her to improve our worth
Well, we've all been brought to together, to find the answers of our distress
Cause it'd be such a shame, shame, shame to leave our children with nothing left
Why can't we find a way to break free and leave our material ways behind?
I'll tell you what we need to do, gonna go and find a little solitude
But it's getting harder, getting harder to find
(pre-Chorus)
That's why I keep looking out into the setting sun
Even through all the lights been spent
And if I keep waiting here beneath the evening sky I know the day will turn around again
And I'll keep paddling out into the ebbing tide not knowing where the water went
When it feels like the world has left me high and dry
Well, the tide come flooding in again, yeah
(Chorus)
Oh why can't we get together
Well I know, know know that we can make it better
Oh, Yes we can, make it better
Yes, we can make it better (repeated)
Why can't we find a way to break free, and leave our destructive ways behind
I'll tell you what we need to do, is go find a little solitude
Cause it's getting harder, getting harder to find
(pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
Why can't we find a way to break free, and leave our political ways behind
I'll tell you what we need to do, is get myself a little solitude
