Passion - Peter Gabriel

The brighter thing’s getting to realize your dreams

Brings on the whole world to judge on your scene

I’m trying to ask you to open up your senses

To all the fine things that tear down the fences

Put up by, and kept by those who don’t always listen

To what the father told you they would be missing

Out on in and down on this child’s intervention

This boy never meant nothing but just to give you

All about the passion (X4)

Extra now extra won’t you read all about it

Seems you’ve grown up, turned your life around

Don’t judge him on what the others might say

You’ll be asking him for just one thing some other day

He’s tryin', he’s buyin', he’s got himself the time

And it looks like, and it feels like, he’s doing fine

So won’t you stay back off his line

This boy never meant nothing but just to give you

People, now people, won’t you please understand

This child’s not thinking about what others chance

The rain pouring down on him like harsh blowing sand

Blinding him with darkness it’s no wonder he ran

Back to the old school right now if they’d see him though

They know that he’s brewing up a fresh batch of home stew

Now they’ll sit back and if they only knew

This boy never meant nothing but just to give you

Talkin' 'bout the passion

All about the passion (repeats many times)
