So Many People

So many people die
I've got a dream they lived under the sun
So many people
So little time to reveal.

So many people die
I've got a dream they lived under the sun
In so many numbers
So little time to reveal what they've done
Kissing the time bomb, private war.

October 26, 1988
In the headlines:
Chad war new offensive
More than 300 people killed
IRA claims police killing.

One in a million
On the road of my life.

So many people go to war
So many people set on crimes
That I can't take
And I will carry the day.

You know the paper boy
Running the store at the end of the road
So don't you remember
He got a scene at the end of a rope?
Hung like a soldier, brave and tall.

Johannesburg: riot police
Using tears gas and clubs
Clashed Tuesday with
University students protesting
Nationwide elections
Wednesday for racially segregated
Municipals councils.

One in a million
On the road of my life.

So many people go to war
So many people set on crimes
That I can't take
And I will carry the day
(Carry the day)

So many people
Go to war.

One in a million
On the road of my life.

So many people go to war
So many people set on crimes
That I can't take
And I will carry the day.

So many people go to war
So many people set on crimes
That I can't take
And I will carry the day.
