Labi Siffre Listen To The Voices
Old man Your race is run You think it's over It's only begun Child is born Who has to face The world you're leaving a dangerous place
Listen To The Voices Crying to be free Can we be the promise that we promised to be Love and understanding are better than a war People just laughing 'cause they've heard it before
Night chills in Plenty Town Cardboard hotels They sleep on the ground Hard choices How to respond Red or rosé with the Duck à l'orange
Listen To The Voices So easy to ignore Choruses of old folk scared to open the door Living in the shadows Dying in the cold Inner city jungle ain't no place to grow old Helpless, we'll never be... 'though justice is so hard to see
Kindness, yes That same old song...but Don't stop singing There's so much strength in kindness
Listen To The Voices Crying to be free Can we be the promise that we promised to be Love and understanding are better than a war People just laughing 'cause they've heard it before
Listen To The Voices Crying to be free Can we be the promise that we promised to be
Listen To The Voices Crying to be free Can we be the promise that we promised to be Love and understanding are better than a war People just laughing 'cause they've heard it before
