A Better Place

You can sit and read the paper
You can watch the rolling news
Nothing gained, nothing ventured
You still end up with the blues

We live in changing times
But nothing’s gonna change
The opportunity to mix things up
will pass and stay the same

It’s in my head

We’ve seen an unfair system
Collapse under the strain
We live to work, we work to live
We dream of ‘life’ again

Time to build a better world
The emphasis on fair
But those who prize their money
Won’t change and just won’t care

It’s in my head
It’s in my head

It’s time to change our broken world
Into a better place
Our future generations deserve
A better place

{A better place}

I’ve dreamed of human freedom
I longed for human rights
But how we stop exploitation
By those who’ll cheat and fight

A system based on money
Some say religion too
To create an inequality
Between me and you

It’s in my head

A world of many languages
And colours from the start
Like flowers we should flourish
With sunshine in our hearts

The greed that lives in modern man
still chips away at peace
“More land, less rights, more money”
Are symptoms that must cease

It’s in my head
It’s in my head
It’s in my head
It’s in my head

It’s time to change our broken world
Into a better place
Our future generations deserve
A better place

A better place

It’s time to change our broken world
Into a better place
Our future generations deserve
A better place

It’s time to change our broken world
Into a better place
Our future generations deserve
A better place

A better place

I believe the human race
Could co-exist and thrive
A mighty culture change must come
A new way to survive

A system that’s designed to favour
A rich man than a poor
Will never boast equality
A design fault we ignore

Like MLK, I can visualise
All flowers standing tall
Sharing the sunlight, wind and rain
On the earth, we are very small

It’s in my head
It’s in my head

A better place

A better place

A better place

A better place
