ME AND THE TUNE OF THIS SONG

Sometime ago
We walked along –
Me and the tune
Of this song that I am singing
It needed words
For something to say
A voice of my own
Reaching out to people

How could I
Sing you songs of freedom and love
Tell you lies of liberation
Empty words
That cover up the truth
How could I
Tell you all to walk hand in hand
Sing that “All You Need Is Love”, sweet love
When sweet nothings
Never changed a world

But then I saw
I was to blame
And changes
Have to begin at home
I took a step
So follow me on
Using the strength
That is not your own

How could I
Sing you songs of freedom and love
Tell you lies of liberation
Empty words
That cover up the truth
How could I
Tell you all to walk hand in hand
Sing that “All You Need Is Love”, sweet love
When sweet nothings
Never changed a world
