Jem - I Sit Up In My Window lyrics

I sit up in my window And look towards the sun Urged to write this song to touch the ears of everyone The TV ticker's looping The words I've seen before Conquer and divide, not gonna buy it anymore Well I'm just one and you're just one, but if we can agree And one day become a million, so much we can achieve I tell you we can change the world, the power's at our feet Watch the ripples travel and across the oceans meet So I'm calling all my brothers My sisters stand with me We have a voice, we have a role, it's our humanity Let the powers that be do their thing And we can do ours too Blame is not constructive there's so much that we can do The environment, well you know the score, we have to scale back Why would we choose to gas ourselves, what lunacy is that? Solutions they are everywhere, let's give these guys a voice Make the corporations listen and provide a greener choice Bring on a groovy electric car, diversify the crops Learn from Mother Nature, the Genius of the lot Stop buying and buying and needing more It's time to trim the fat The best things in life are free my friend You won't miss half the crap War can only lead to war, seen time and time again Two sides believing they're both right, will fight until the end Someone must be ready, to extend the hand of peace To break the vicious cycle is a strength beyond belief If someone guns a man down Or maybe it's a child The bloodline doesn't stop there The blood runs far and wide The women they are screaming The men break down and cry Then go and find a gun to hit back Right between the eyes What one does to the World He does unto himself So think before you act my friend Think of the consequence When you're faced with hostility Disputes or disdain Think if you were in their shoes Might you feel the very same? We started off as babies, we started off the same Depending on your place of birth you're sold a different game So don't believe everything you think or everything you've read The memes we've learnt from day one are from someone else's head The TV ticker's looping Still churning out the same I shake my head and wonder will it always be this way? I sit up in my window Such beauty in full sight Thank you all for listening, I hope these words take flight I'm calling all my brothers, my sisters stand with me Cause I have a dream that one day we might live in harmony It's not science fiction baby, I hope that you'll agree Let's sow the seeds of love and be the change we wanna see It's in our reach Reach for the stars Let's chart a course brand new Cause I've never lived through a time Where disaster hasn't loomed My heart it is beaming now You'll see it from the moon Like Batman's signal shining Every time you play this tune
