Lyrics
Just words on a page. Just words on a page..the light has gone out.
We stare into space. They continue to shout. And the stories told could be very old. There is nothing new when anger takes hold.
The world has a thirst for bloodshed and tears. We read of the worst and it plays on our fears.
And we think we're safe as we turn the page 'cause the coffee's on and they're so far away.
How can we breathe like we're all alone?
How can we sleep while the sirens drone?
Why build our house on this pile of sand?
Let's join our hands and pray.
Let's take a walk and try to really see.
Let's be the change...a tiny step t'ward peace.
Let us bring some good to our neighbourhood.
Let the stories told show that love's taken hold.
Just words on a page ...don't let the light go out.
