I Sit up in My Window - Jem[00:00:00]
I sit up in my window and look towards the sun[00:00:11]
Urged to write this song to touch the ears of everyone[00:00:16]
Tv ticker's looping the words I've seen before[00:00:21]
Conquer and divide not gonna buy it anymore[00:00:26]
Well I'm just one and you're just one[00:00:31]
But if we can agree[00:00:34]
One day become a million[00:00:36]
So much we can achieve[00:00:39]
I'd tell you we can change the world[00:00:41]
The power's at our feet[00:00:44]
Watch the ripples travel and across the oceans meet[00:00:47]
So I'm calling all my brothers my sisters stand with me[00:00:53]
We have a voice we have a role[00:00:58]
It's our humanity[00:01:00]
Let the powers that be do their thing[00:01:03]
And we can do ours too[00:01:05]
Blame is not constructive there's so much that we can do[00:01:08]
The environment well you know the score we have to scale back[00:01:13]
Why would we choose to gas ourselves what lunacy is that[00:01:18]
Solutions they are everywhere let's give these guys a voice[00:01:23]
Make the corporations listen and provide a greener choice[00:01:28]
Bring on a groovy electric car diversify the crops[00:01:35]
Learn from mother nature the genius of the lot[00:01:39]
Stop buying and buying and needing more[00:01:44]
It's time to trim the fat[00:01:47]
The best things in life are free my friend[00:01:49]
You won't miss half the crap[00:01:52]
War can only lead to war seen time and time again[00:01:55]
Two sides believing they're both right will fight until the end[00:01:59]
Someone must be ready to extend the hand of peace[00:02:05]
To break the vicious cycle is a strength beyond belief[00:02:10]
If someone guns a man down or maybe it's a child[00:02:15]
The bloodline doesn't stop there[00:02:20]
The blood runs far and wide[00:02:22]
The women they are screaming[00:02:25]
The men break down and cry[00:02:27]
Then go and find a gun to hit back[00:02:30]
Right between the eyes[00:02:33]
What one does to the world[00:02:35]
He does unto himself[00:02:37]
So think before you act my friend[00:02:40]
Think of the consequence[00:02:42]
When you're faced with hostility[00:02:45]
Disputes or disdain[00:02:48]
Think if you were in their shoes[00:02:50]
Might you feel the very same[00:02:52]
We started off as babies we started off the same[00:02:55]
Depending on your place of birth you're sold a different game[00:03:00]
So don't believe everything you think[00:03:05]
Or everything you've read[00:03:08]
The memes we've learnt from day one are from someone else's head[00:03:10]
The TV ticker's looping still churning out the same[00:03:16]
I'll shake my head and wonder will it always be this way[00:03:20]
I sit up in my window such beauty in full sight[00:03:26]
Thank you all for listening[00:03:31]
I hope these words take flight[00:03:33]
I'm calling all my brothers my sisters stand with me[00:03:36]
'Cause I have a dream that one day[00:03:41]
We might live in harmony[00:03:43]
It's not science fiction baby I hope that you'll agree[00:03:46]
Let's sow the seeds of love and be[00:03:51]
The change we wanna see[00:03:53]
It's in our reach reach for the stars[00:03:56]
Let's chart a course brand new[00:03:58]
'Cause I've never lived through a time[00:04:01]
Where disaster hasn't loomed[00:04:03]
My heart it is beaming now you'll see it from the moon[00:04:06]
Like Batman's signal shining every time you play this tune[00:04:11]
