I’ll be on my way


Against a lipstick sunset
I saw a man drown
He gave out a cry
But there was nobody around

Perhaps if I knew him
He could have been a friend
And I would have felt a loss
To see his life end


There’s no way of knowing
The anonymous in the street
The events in their lives
And the secrets that they keep
Never really knowing
If they’ll be there the following day
Like the man in the tin can
Who sank beneath the waves?
Who sank beneath the waves?


A newsman on the TV
Told me about a war today
On how the rich oppressed the poor
And hid the truth away

Did the newsman expect anger?
For the information that he gave
If they all had been my friends
I would have visited their graves


But is this of any consequence
Because the news man gets paid to read
Will he change our attitudes?
Or get our eyes to bleed
Never really knowing
If they’ll be there the next day
So many images on TV
Another war another day
Another war another day


There’s no way of knowing
The anonymous in the street
The events in their lives
And the secrets that they keep
Never really knowing
If they’ll be there the next day
Perhaps were only human
So I’ll be on my way

But wait there is more..
