I met an alien one night while I was walking after dark
He said don't be afraid I've come to know I've come to make my mark


And there's a road, and its very long
And you gotta be sweet baby
And you gotta be strong


He said why are these men and women lying here just on the street
He said why are these children dying 'cos they have no food to eat


And there's a road, and its very long
And you gotta be sweet baby

And you gotta be strong

Why are these people hating others for the colour of their skin

Why are your brother creatures murdered for the flesh that lies within

Don't lose the rage, don't become immune

When others criticise you
Don't change your tune
You've got to love, with a passion that hurts

It's love that conquers baby
Its love that serves


And in the moment before you go to sleep
You can turn on me I'm the blue light wrap me round you
And when the world turns its coldest shoulder

In the name of all that's good

And there's a road, and its very long

And you gotta be sweet baby
And you gotta be strong
And I'll be there, to dry your tears

And I'll be cooking in your kitchen
Food for everyone
And Ill be working in the backroom

Help for everyone
