Live in the Light - Poverty's No Crime

Now that we’ve found a way to relieve

From the pain — we just close our eyes

There’s no hate there’s no black and white

So proud that everything is under control

Let me take you down to the place

Where you would rather like to see somebody else

How can we leave them with chains around

War is not a game on TV, it’s a game of misery

Some people have to live in the darkness

'Cause some people like to live in the light

Some don’t know how they can survive any longer

But you say it’s just the way that it goes

It’s not fair to say the chances we offer

Are quite enough to ease the pain in the world

You look away while some children die

And think of hunger in the world to be a lie

We feel so safe in that harmony

But losing human solidarity

Yes we feel okay to the games we play…

Some people have to live in the darkness

'Cause some rather like to live in the light

Should they look forward to the end of a nightmare

To the moment when we turn up the light?

Reach out your hands for tomorrow

Reach out for every light in your life

Well can’t you see that they can’t wait any longer

The time is right to help them into the light
