Life is running slowly through our hands  Fade away like footsteps in the sand  Passing by us  And all our vision went astray  We're living with the scars of yesterday  To remind us    We look the other way  We're blind to what surrounds us  And no one seems to care  We dream of better days  'Cause everyone's got their own cross to bear  Ain't it so    With these eyes I have seen  Wasted lives and broken dreams  With this heart I have felt  How we seem to please ourselves  We need new dreams tonight  Like the stars need the sky  We need love and sympathy  I need you and you need me    Look upon the homeless in the street  See the pain of those in need  All those empty face  Think about the selfish way we live  How we take and never give  Somehow some things never change    The man behind the fence  He's got nothing left to live for  The wheels are standing still  And the beggar on the bench  Is lost for hope and he knows  It's the loneliness that kills    Chorus    Some day take me and show me the way  To the end of the world where Paradise begins  With these eyes  With this heart  I have seen many lives torn apart    Chorus
