Lyrics
We can love, why must we hate?
We can give and yet we take.
We can build and yet we break.
Can't we see our own mistake?
People around me live in their fears.
No one cares for another's tears.
But you and I we can go our own way.
In a world like this it's too hard to stay.
All of my troubles, all of my pain
When they're bringing me down
Girl that's when I call your name.
When the world is at war and the sky is gray,
And you can't go back home at the end of the day.
You've got to save me.
Take me away, take me away, take me away.
