If you can look into his tired and weary eyes
The can tell a million stories of all he holds inside
Waiting patiently 'til the day he dies
For a better life-for a better life
For a better life-for a better life
He saw people die because of their beliefs
He saw a leader shot down cold by men behind the trees
But he believes he believes that one day he will see
Love and harmony-love and harmony
Love and harmony-love and harmonyHe said
Take me to a world that's filled with happy people
Take me to a land where the poor men are the rich ones
Where there are smiling faces and the lonely ain't alone
Take me to that peaceful place I call HomeTell me how it is that someone can't believe
When the sun gives light and brown comes to the leaves
But we have got our own ideas of how the story's told
Lies and make believe-lies and make believe
Lies and make believe-lies and make believeHe said
Take me to a world that's filled with happy people
Take me to a land where the poor men are the rich ones
Where there are smiling faces and the lonely ain't alone
Take me to that peaceful place I call home
