Publishing Warner Basart Direct

everybody's talking

and fighting to be heard

no-one listens anymore, So no-one hears a word

we eat our breakfast, work all day

hide inside our houses

the center of the universe is getting pretty

crowded

we dream our dreams and cry our tears

look for easy answers

hate what we don't understand, and run from

what connects us

seven billion people

living on a little planet

wonder what we're doing here

but who can understand it

seven billion people

looking for a revelation

could be life's a journey

and not a destination

we agitate and demonstrate

just too many causes

pol-ti-cally so correct, sometimes we grasp

at straws

we fight our tears and in the end

does anything get clearer?

we learn to see what life could be -Iookin' in

a rear-view mirror

love and hate are easy lies

everybody uses

it's hard to lose the things we prize if everyone

refuses

seven billion people

living on a little planet

wonder what we're doing here

but who can understand it

seven billion people

looking for a revelation

could be life's a journey

and not a destination
