I want to thank you, Mr. Churchill
For making sure that I was born
Thanks for the innocence that made us feel secure

But time is wasting, hope is hungry now

It's a dream I'm talking here

Much closer to the poor
If we start waging peace
Instead of waging war


When I wake to see the sun rise
I know I'm poorer by the day

I know the world will keep on turning for a while
But time is wasting, hope is hungry now


It's a dream I'm talking here
Much closer to the poor
Information overload

It's harder to ignore
The day you do the things
I'll live with what's in store


Will there be peace on earth one day?
If so, I hope I will be near

'Til we're born with wisdom, war will still be here

It's a dream I'm talking here

Much closer to the poor
If we start waging peace
Instead of waging war


Information overload
It's harder to ignore

The day you do the thing
Or live with what's in store
