Lyrics
Ou woah
What does it take to show an illustration
Of the hurt and the pain of a nation
One glowing look upon a ragged canvas
Tells the story of our past and present situation
That old bush just keeps on burning
Nobody seems to show they're learning
That old bush just keeps on burning
I wonder will we ever feel the flame
This way of life on total exhibition
Shows the way in which we live of an
Imperfect nation
This tree of life so far from perfeciton
Share a little love to improve our situation
That old bush just keeps on burning
Nobody seems to show they're learning
I wonder will we ever feel the flame
Flow of light could really stand a listen
Bring the dark to the light, show us
What we've been missing
Not many men are satisfied
Without no light, there ain't no pride
Gonna shout it from the mountain top this evening
I wonder will it ever be the same
Yeah I wonder
Will we ever feel the pain, alright
Will we ever feel the pain oh yeah
There's gonna come a time
Things that are on your mind
Trust and you will find
Everything in your mind
True love is here to find
Simple as number nine
Multiply you will find
Peace and love all the time
Peace and love all the time
Peace and love all the time
Peace and love all the time
