I look up at the sky,
oh I look up at the sky...
I dream of days gone by when
I felt that I could fly,
oh I could fly so high!
But I'm sitting down right now,
cloudy skies keep raining on my mind!
I fear the world I live in is nothing but a lie...
oh lies, lies, lies, nothing but more lies.
I feel it's time I up and leave to see it for myself.
The bombs that do rain down, may not read 'from Palestine',
but David's stars and stripes they be, until they hit the streets,
where people of true peace and love are left to bleed and weep.
Lies, lies, lies...the tabloids they do read, one way traffic is all you see,
so please, please please...turn off the BBC.
Obama I do feel has lots of love appeal, but as President of USA,
he's a puppet on a string, locked into a history of 'I win, you lose',
no matter who you are!
War on terror, war on peace...they're very much the same!
Are we really fighting for true UNity, or is all to be 'just ME'?
Without my enemies I can't be true to me!
Enemies are nothing more than tests for you to see,
the potential of the fire that burns in you since birth.

I dream of days gone by when
I felt that I could fly,
oh I could fly so high!
But I'm sitting down right now,
cloudy skies keep raining on my mind!
And the same cloudy skies are raining down
on African boys as they walk many miles.
Sitting in class, with nothing more than air they breathe free,
and the sun burning backsides with all its degrees!
No book, no pens, no hope. No way to break free from the shackles
tied tight round their feet!
-
Who tied the shackles so tight 'round their feet?
Was it you and I as we sat down to a feast?
or was it the USA and all its 'Fair Trade'?
-
Who tied the shackles so tight 'round their feet?
Have you got the key or did you throw it to sea?
To hide the lies covering defeat like #OBL is too hard to beat!
