What do you say to the child
Whose God is in the TV?
And what do you say to the man
Who blames the world on TV?
They don't even know how to sing my song
But they won't even try it
With me, with me, with me
Who is standing over playing like
The teacher
Harnessing the learned
Who try but can't leave her
I want to beg the liars to lay down
Their sirens
That play like the anges
To my deep desire
CHORUS
Free my son
Let him walk right through the rain
Free my son
Make him Waterboy
Free my son
There he stands down on the shore
Free my son
What do you say to the man
Who treats her like a mother?
And what do you say to the man
Who treats him like a father?
"Come and see my heart, come inside and learn"?
Come and see muy soul, it's like yours,
I say it's just like yours"?
Who is making over
Idolizing princes
Banishing the dreamers with
Barbed-wire fences
And telling all the children who run to
Her feet
That they have no vision
And love's all diseased
CHORUS

He said, he said, he said,
"There was nothing to fear boy"
And he said, he said, he said,
"Worthless are your tears boy"
"Just realize your senses
and realize your earth
Just realize your essence first"
I'll never be the same again
I want to walk in the sun
I am alive and well again
No more bittersweet
No more good pain
No more
So many of us stand in the middle
Looking back to the worst
Looking forward to the fall
Making weapons of peace for the defense
of the bloodstains on our peaceful sidewalks
You say the buildings got too tall
and the're going to fry your brother
Well I say you'd better walk away, walk away, walk away
and find your mother
No more bittersweet
No more good pain
If I can't sing this song
and tell you all about it
Then I'll just pack it up right now and walk away
don't even doubt it
So when our sherry glass is full
and the day is way too young
You'd better sip today, sip today, sip today
before it's gone
No more bittersweet
No more good pain

If you've ever known love
If you've ever known peace
If you've ever known joy
Make sure that you are on time
If you've ever known war
If you've ever known pain
If you've ever said no
Make sure that you are on time
You are on time
You are on time
You are on time
Fighting, mating, warring
You are all this now
Be aware, not scared
Look at me now
Silence
I say
You are the world

If I dtold you he was your brother
We could reminisce
Then you would go about your day
If I said you ought togive him
Some of your water
You'd shake your canteen and walk away
The perception taht divides you from him
Is a lie
For some reason you never asked why
This is not a black and white world
You can't afford to believe in your side
CHORUS
This is not a black and white world
To be alive
I say that the colors must swirl
And I believe
That maybe today
We will all get to appreciate
The beauty of gray
If I told you that she was your mother
We could analyze the situation and be gone
If I said you ought to give her
Some of your water
Your eyes would light up like the dwawn
The preception taht divides you from her
Is a lie
For some reason you never asked why
This is not a black and white world
You can't afford to believe in your side
CHORUS

Pollution, Cain and misery
Oceans of golden mystery
Armies boisterous and armies loud
Portraits of a vicious crowd
Talk to me, talk to me now
Hey man, you're all that I have
Me, myself, myself and I
Were born to work and born to die
I have chosen my anthems
Of them I am proud
Portraits of a divided crowd
Talk to me, talk to me now
