Verse 1
Lonely people with nothing true to hold on to;
Poor men along with rich men, starving for love.
Desperate cities & countries turned into war zones;
Mankind missing the goal, selling its soul,
Captured by greed.

Chorus
Maybe it's all right where you are,
Living in a dream, wishing on a star,
But surely the madness brings great sadness
To your heart. --So there's no need denying how
Deep inside we're crying now,
Crying like lost children in the night,
Crying out in darkness for the light.

Verse 2
Millions suffer in bondage, longing for freedom;
Billions fed up with violence, hoping for peace.
Nations seek for solutions to all their failures;
Science, with all its knowledge, is not enough
To save us now.

Repeat Chorus

Music Break:

Bridge
As the world returns )to the dark ages,
As the fires burn, & war rages,
From the simple, lowly man to the wise old sages,
Let us all pray to God for the light.

Maybe it's all right where you are,
Living in a dream, wishing on a star,
But still we are crying out in darkness for the light.
