Howard Jones - Other People Are Us Lyrics
By umberto tozziAs sung by howard jonesIve never been more lonely.The night is closing in.I wish for monday morning and the people of the town to heal me,Opening themselvesLike flowers to a cruel sun.Going thru the motionsWith no chance to show their deep emotion.ChorusWhen they sing and cryWhen they live and dieCant we see other people, those people are usAngels live insideVultures try to hideIn the mirrors we see other people are usThe walls are falling down with the breath of an idea.See allah in the church and jesus in the mosque.Our world is turning.Heros leave behind miles (minds? ) of prejudice.Cowards try to hold the easiness of our division.ChorusAs the swallows fly thru leaves of africaDo they cry as they witness our tears?Will the hands of needs become the hand of greed?There will be a time when those people are us.Chorus x2Living in the world of isolationOf comfort and tranquilityBut sooner or later in this whole world, those people are usChorusYes, we are all the sameThe nations of the worldYoung ones trapped by chemicals, no hope to carry onThe working familiesReplaced by metal menTravelers from the east in their suburban reservationsWe are the victimsOf the ruling handsThere will come a time when those people are usChorus
