BETTER PEOPLE

Well I hope that we’re all happy
When the dust clears, looking back
With twenty-twenty hindsight
Gained so far beyond the fact
Were the heroes that we sanctify
Not the same the day before?
Do we just not care to notice
Till they’re beating down our door?

We should stand up to be counted
Admit we played a part
It’s taken al this time to feel
The beating of a heart
You can hear it pounding faster
As it overules our head
The wind of a collective sigh
Has blown us from our beds

It’s certain as the world spins round
We will take each others space
Stand inside each others shoes
To find another saving grace

CHORUS
Why should it have to catch us out?
Why did it have to take our breath away?
Why are we better people now?
Weren’t we better people anyway?

We will be there for each other now
Prepared to stand and fight
But where were you when I needed you
Inthe darkness of last night?
Did you know I was still your brother
When you wouldn’t hear my cries?
Did we used to give a second thought
As each individual dies?

It’s certain as the world spins round
We will fill each others space
See inside each other minds
To find a way of saving face

CHORUS x 2
