I must have dreamed a thousand dreams Been haunted by a million screams But I can hear the marching beat They're moving into the street Now, did you read the news today? They say the danger has gone away But I can see the fire's still alight It's burning into the night There's too many men, too many people Making too many problems And not much love to go around Can't you see this is a land of confusion? This is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth living in Superman, where are you now? When everything's gone wrong somehow? The men of steel, the men of power Are losing control by the hour This is the time, this is the place So we look for the future But there's not much love to go around Tell me why this is the land of confusion This is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth living in This is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Stand up and let's start showing Just where our lives are going to (Genesis)
