A World of Our Own

First night we spent together
We talked all night long
Of all our hopes and dreams unrealized
And how the world’s gone so wrong
Your joy for life was infectious
You broke my heart of stone
Made me wish we could live
In a world of our own

Look through any window baby
What do you see every day
A society divided by broken promises
A cold wind blowing our dignity away
You asked if I
Could remember a time
When the lost among us had a way home?
I wish we could live
In a world of our own
We want to believe somewhere out there
There’s a place for us
If we could change our hearts we could
Change the world
But it’s just too tough
For most of us it’s just too tough
It’s just too tough

We made love and decisions we would live by
On those long hot rainy summer nights
We agreed the only way out of the darkness
Was to follow our soulfire light
It’s a light we have to follow together
So no one’s left behind or alone
That’s why we can’t live
That’s why we can’t live
That’s why we can never live
In a world of our own
