I light a candle to our loveIn love our problems disappearBut all in all we soon discoverThat one and one is all we long to hear
All 'round the worldLittle children being born to the worldGot to give them all we can 'til the war is wonThen will the work be done
Help them to learn (help them to learn)Songs of joy instead of burn, baby burn (burn, baby burn)Let us show them how to play The pipes of peacePlay the pipes of peace
Help me to learnSongs of joy instead of burn, baby burnWon't you show me how to play (how to play)The pipes of peace (pipes of peace)Play the pipes of peaceOoh ooh ooh
What do you say? (what do you say?)Will the human race be run in a day (in a day)Or will someone save this planet we're playing on?(Is it the only one?)What are we going to do?
Help them to see (help them to see)That the people here are like you and me (like you and me)Let us show them how to play (how to play)The pipes of peace (pipes of peace)Play the pipes of peaceOoh ooh ooh
I light a candle to our loveIn love our problems disappearBut all in all we soon discoverThat one and one is all we long to hear

I know I was a crazy fool For treating you the way I did But something took hold of me And I acted like a dustbin lid I didn't give second though To what the consequence might be I really wouldn't be surprised If you were trying to find another me
The other me would rather be the glad one The other me would rather play the fool I want to be the kind of me That doesn't let you down as a rule
I know it doesn't take a lot To have a little self-control But every time that I forgot Well I landed in another hole
But everytime you pull me out I find it harder not to see That we can build a better life If I can try to find the other me
The other me would rather be the glad one The other me would rather play the fool I want to be the kind of me That doesn't let you down as a rule
But if I ever hurt you Well you know that it's not real It's no easy living by yourself So imagine how I feel
I wish that I could take it back I'd like to make a different mood And if you let me try again I'll have a better attitude
Well I know that one and one make two And that's what I want us to be I really would appreciate it If you'd help me find the other me
The other me would rather be the glad one The other me would rather play the fool I want to be the kind of me That doesn't let you down as a rule

Love, I'm going to pick you up in the morning Love, I'm going to take you out on a journey I don't know where I'm going to But I know what I've been going through Without you by my side What good is butter if you haven't got bread? What good is art when it hurts your head? Might as well be in bed
Keep under cover 'til the battle has ceased Keep out of trouble 'til the prisoners are released
What good's a puzzle when you haven't a clue? What good is me when I'm not with you? Might as well stay in bed
Keep under cover 'til the clouds desappear Keep out of trouble 'til the weather is bright and clear
Love, I'm going to pick you up I'm going to take you out I don't know what I'm going to do But I know what I've been going through Without you by my side Without you by my side
What good is tennis when there isn't a ball? What good's a curtain without a call? Might as well be in bed
Keep under cover 'til the battle has ceased Keep out of trouble 'til the prisoners are released
Love, I'm going to pick you up I'm going to take you out I don't know what I'm going to do But I know what I've been going through Without you by my side Without you by my side
Keep under cover

Well they can treat you like a brother Yeah they can treat you like a clown But if they treat you like a lover They've got the sweetest little show in town You got the sweetest little show Sweetest little show Sweetest little show in town You've been around a long time But you're still good for a while And if they try to criticise you Make them smile, make them smile
And if they treat you like a brother Well you will never let them down But if they treat you like a lover They've got the sweetest little show in town They got the sweetest little show Sweetest little show Sweetest little show in town
You got the sweetest little show Sweetest little show Sweetest little show in town

Look at the average person Speak to the man in the street Can you imagine the first one you'd meet? Well, I'm talking to a former engine driver Trying to find out what he used to do Tells me that he always kept his engine Spit and polished up as good as new But he said his only great ambition Was to work with lions in a zoo Oh to work with lions in a zoo Yes dear, you heard right Told me his ambition was to work with lions every night
Look at the average person Speak to the man on the beat Can you imagine the first one you'd meet?
Well, I met a woman working as a waitress I asked exactly what it was she did Said she worked the summer crowd at seasides Winter time she ran away and hid Once she had a hollywood audition But the part was given to a kid Yes,the part was given to a kid Yes sir, you heard it right Hollywood ambition made a starlet grown up overnight
Well I bumped into a man who'd been a boxer Asked him what had been his greatest night He looked into the corners of his memory Searching for a picture of the fight But he said he always had a feeling That he lacked a little extra height (could have used a little extra height) Yes mate, you heard right He always had a feeling that he might have lacked a little height
Look at the average person Speak to the man in the queue Can you imagine the first one is you?
Look at the average person.
