Maxi Priest - Can't Turn Away lyrics

I can hear them crying Tears of all mankind Oh children on the sidewalk Oh before their time There seems to be injustice So many people live in poverty A lack of dedication Oh it's like a mountain on the streets Oh I just can't turn away I just can't turn away [x2] A sense of desperation Tears like a dove Said I thought we had religion Why isn't that enough The sense of ma** destruction Always had to[?] Starvation in the third world This isn't how it's meant to be Oh I just can't turn away I just can't turn away [x2] A sense of desperation Tears like a dove Said I thought we had religion Why isn't that enough The sense of ma** destruction Always had to [?] Starvation in the third world This isn't how it's meant to be Now it's criminal when you come to think about the world we're living always on the brink Like a time bomb we can still escape Make a first move it's not too late Politicians made this mess so let's clean it out, take a world of stress For the sake of children, you know what I mean Everybody's got a right to dream [x2] It's like an ocean Ooh you gotta catch the wave Try your best to beat the system Oh before you hit for real Smoke spasm from the oil wells And I can't see the sun from where I am There's a breakdown in the ozone This couldn't be a part of nature's plan Oh I just can't turn away I just can't turn away [x2] A sense of desperation Tears like a dove Said I thought we had religion Why isn't that enough The sense of ma** destruction Always had to [?] Starvation in the third world This isn't how it's meant to be
