people all over the world

people all over the world

here and now are in suffering

struggling

to be free

you're there in your little world

i'm in mine and we're mumbling

grumbling

what about me?

what about me?

i think we've got it made

i think we've got it very easy

i think it must be said

it must be said we're doing fine

i watch the news at ten

i can't believe what i am seeing

i get the blues and then

i wonder if and when

could be better in another life

people all over the world

here and now are in suffering

struggling

to be free

you're there in your little world

i'm in mine and we're mumbling

grumbling

what about me?

i hear the world is round

each half is so uneven

i've had my ups and downs

i can't compare my life to this

the preacher sees the light

easy when you're on the mountain

there is a human right

that says in black and white

you cry for freedom

you're too weak to talk

people all over the world

here and now are in suffering

struggling

do we care?

you're there in your little world

i'm in mine and we're mumbling

grumbling

about our share

when you sleep at night

do you have a hard time dreaming

about what's near and dear to you

when you dream at night

do you find it hard believing

that your dream will still come

that your dream will still come

that your dream will still come true

people all over the world

here and now are in suffering

struggling

to be free

you're there in your little world

i'm in mine and we're mumbling

grumbling

what about me?
