Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Are we happy? Are we scared?
Are we shouting, never heard?
Are we running, running brave?
Are we fighting, making waves?
The first man he gets up and he says
"Well can I have a say?"
[Verse 2]
Singing
Men on fire pray for rain
Who are mad men, who is sane?
[Verse 3]
Ten men may get up and they say
Well can we have a say?
Have we lost the spoken word?
[Verse 4]
From the very very young to the very very old
Everybody now say I
From the center of the earth
To the corners of the globe
Everyone of you say I
Nobody better let me down
Gotta run from the other side
[Verse 5]
Sing out are we happy, are we scared? (Ye-yeah-ah)
Are shouting, never heard?
The first man he gets up and he says
"Well can I have a say?"
[Verse 6]
Cut of drama, power of sound, (Ye-yeah-ah)
Are we progress?
Don't lose ground
Ten men may get up and they say
Well can we have a say?
Are we fighting, making waves?
[Verse 7]
From the very very young to the very very old
Everybody now say I
From the center of the earth
To the corners of the globe
Everyone of you say I
Nobody better let me down
We will see on the other side
Lean on me
[Verse 8]
From the very very young to the very very old
Everybody now say I
From the center of the earth
To the corners of the globe
Everyone of you say I
Nobody better let me down
Mother Earth on the other side, ah
[Verse 9]
From the very very young to the very very old
Everybody now say I
From the center of the earth
To the corners of the globe
Everyone of you say I
Nobody better let me down
We will see on the other side
Lean on me
[Verse 10]
From the very very young to the very very old
Everybody now say I
From the center of the earth
To the corners of the globe
Everyone of you say I
Nobody better let me down
Mother Earth on the other side
Sing out loud
