Can't Turn Away

Can't Turn Away

(альбом: Fe Real - 1992)

I can hear them crying
Tears of all mankind
Oh children on the sidewalk
Oh before their time
There seems to be injustice
So many people live in poverty
A lack of dedication
Oh it's like a mountain on the streets

Oh I just can't turn away
I just can't turn away [x2]
A sense of desperation
Tears like a dove
Said I thought we had religion
Why isn't that enough
The sense of mass destruction
Always had to [?]
Starvation in the third world
This isn't how it's meant to be

Oh I just can't turn away
I just can't turn away [x2]
A sense of desperation
Tears like a dove
Said I thought we had religion
Why isn't that enough
The sense of mass destruction
Always had to [?]
Starvation in the third world
This isn't how it's meant to be

Now it's criminal when you come to think about the world we're living always on the brink
Like a time bomb we can still escape
Make a first move it's not too late
Politicians made this mess so let's clean it out, take a world of stress
For the sake of children, you know what I mean
Everybody's got a right to dream [x2]

It's like an ocean
Ooh you gotta catch the wave
Try your best to beat the system
Oh before you hit for real
Smoke spasm from the oil wells
And I can't see the sun from where I am
There's a breakdown in the ozone
This couldn't be a part of nature's plan

Oh I just can't turn away
I just can't turn away [x2]
A sense of desperation
Tears like a dove
Said I thought we had religion
Why isn't that enough
The sense of mass destruction
Always had to [?]
Starvation in the third world
This isn't how it's meant to be
