Music and Lyrics by Otis Goldsparks and Richard Labast

lyrics

Oh lord this pain inside of me
Masks the smile, everyone sees
So many people, living without
Empathy

Oh lord this pain inside of me
Never stops weeping, for humanity
Never stops chasing, what they can
Never be

Why can't see
This human race
Is on a ball
Floating through space
With ever single thing we'll ever need

Oh lord this pain inside of me,
Never stops asking, why can't we see
The wondrous beauty, inside
You and me

Still there is a light, I can see

You know there's a lot of people out there,
Searching high and low for the silver lining
For a light at the end of this tunnel
No matter how hard they search
They'll find that that silver lining
Isn't so silver once they find it
Or that that light is just blinding
And they forget that the only thing that they've got is the here and now baby
It's all you got, the here and now
So love each other each and every single day

Teach the little children in the nursery
They don't have to grow up to live in misery
They can walk around in happiness
Instead of some God awful man made mess
Got to keep it together
Do what's best
Maybe the lord will help us with the rest

Na na na na

Oh lord we're singing, those blue planet blues
