lyrics

She was a barefoot child
Growin’ hungry poor and wild
Born beneath an African sun
Orphan of a war
There’s always some reason for
When the rocky road to freedom comes undone
But too much pain
And too much hate
Was a game she never learned to play
So she lived down deep inside
Sometimes love’s a place to hide
And it’s just a day away

They’re out here on the road tonight
You can feel ‘em in your bones
Those lifetime songs
So many rights so many wrongs
Still makin’ their way home
Where somethin’ more
And somethin’ less
And nothin’ new to say
Stand in line
Out of touch out of time
And it’s just a day away

And it swept across the sea
The dark tale of history
In a wave that tore the people from their home
And set ‘em down to toil
On a New World’s angry soil
Bought and sold and beaten and alone
And those who fought
And those who fell
Their stories marked the way
The colour of their skin
The love that burned within
And it’s just a day away

The colour of their skin
The love that burns within
And it’s just a day away
