Gino Vanelli - Powerful People Lyrics

Look at the powerful people

Stealing the sun from the day

Wish I could do something about it

When all I can do is pray



Its a lonely afternoon

With nowhere to go but my room

And sunday when theres time

I think of these things on my mind

And I dont know

Where I will go



Look at the ominous people

Draining the salt from the sea

Wish I could just stand up and shout it

Why cant they let goodness be



Oh its a lonely afternoon

With nowhere to go but my room

And some day when theres time

I think of these things on my mind

And I dont know

Where I will go



Come on you world wont you give a damn

Turn on some lights and see this garbage can

Time is the essence if we plan to stay

Death is in stride when filth is the pride of our home

Wish I could just stand up and shout it

Why cant they let goodness be



Oh its a lonely afternoon

With nowhere to go but my room

And sunday when theres time

I think of these things on my mind



Oh and monday theres no time

So I close both my eyes and Im blind

And I dont care where oh where is my prayer
