We're Living in a world of sorrow
Some people have no tomorrow
Singing songs of there betrayal
It's easy to ignore the children
Who don't know why they're made a victim
It seems we've lost their holy grail
You've heard the cry, you've heard the call
You can't ignore the secret war
You'd better think about it
There's more than a million reasons why
Can't feed the world on greed and power
Dictators changing by the hour
A voice of freedom goes to jail
The politicians feed corruption
As people disappear by the gun
It's up to us to tell the tail
You've heard the cry, you've heard the call
You can't ignore the secret war
You'd better think about it
There's more than a million reasons why
They can't return, they can't return
You've dropped your bombs and sell your arms
When will you return
There's more than a million reasons why
Tambor
When the night falls raven-black on Havana
And Dona Laura sets the red shade on the light by her door
I drop by the polo lounge
Knock back a scotch and head downtown
The Great Leveller
She's older than you think
And wiser than you know
Keeps you on the brink
Without really letting go
Day after day
You follow her desire
When she draws the line
That shuts an open mind
Cuts you down to size
The Great Leveller
Ooh Ooh everybody
Hits you like a big surprise
The Great Leveller
Sure can penetrate your foolish pride
Yeah
Love is the Great Leveller yeah
Love is the Great Leveller
The look that's on your face
Tells me everything
The light that's in your eye
Is the fire from which I spring
Change in my life
You gave it back to me
And now I can see
The humble origins of harmony
Love is the Great Leveller yeah
Love is the Great Leveller yeah
As it cuts you down to size
Cuts you down
Love is the Great Leveller
Cuts you down to size
The great leveller
Ooh everybody
Yeah it hits you like a big surprise
The Great Leveller
The Great Leveller
The Great Great Leveller
Of love
Astrud
We were slow dancing
To the voice of Astrud
That's when you undid
My secret heart
We were together
For a quiet moment
I knew that I wanted
You in my life
Are we taking a risk
Do we face abyss
When you kiss me I melt in your arms
Is it safer to say
We got carried away
By ASTRUD
I was down hearted
Didn't know my potential
The music started
My old self died
Are we taking a risk
Do we face abyss
Is the mystery of love around
Is it safer to say
We got carried away
By ASTRUD
Are we taking a risk
Do we face abyss
When you whisper my name in the dark
Is it safer to say
We got carried away
By ASTRUD
Southern Cross (Instrumental)
Blood Brother
The water of your shore is still within my mind
I think of waves that break my heart
And take me back in time
How I watched that beam of light
Circle round your coast
Than I felt a part of you
You're my blood brother
And I can't get you out of my mind
You're my blood brother
Keep taking me back in time
You're a blood brother to me
I'll walk with what you've given me
I hear all that you say
My life won't be same again
So I'll take it day be day
And live within your beam of light
That I hold so close
So keep on giving me a part of you
You're my blood brother
And I can't get you out of my mind
You're my blood brother
Keep taking me back in time
If I had the chance
I'd turn the hands of time
You're my blood brother
And I can't get you out of my mind
You're a blood brother to me
How I watched that beam of light
Circle round your coast
Then I felt a part of you
You're my blood brother
And I can't get you out of my mind
You're my blood brother
Keep taking me back in time
You're a blood brother to me
