I was talking, I was talking to myselfSomebody else talk, talk, talking.I couldn't hear a word, a word he said.
He was my brotherI said there was no other way out of hereBe my brother(Brother).Got to get out, got to get out.
I was walking, I was walking into wallsAnd back againI just keep walkingI walk up to a window to see myselfAnd my reflection, when I thought about itMy direction, going nowhere, going nowhere.So I threw a brick through the window
No-one, no-one is blinderThan he who will not see.No-one, no-one is blinderThan me.

Calling, calling the sun is burning blackCalling, calling, it's beating on my backWith a fireWith a fire.
Calling, calling, the moon is running redCalling, calling, it's pulling me insteadWith a fire, fire.
But there's a fire insideAnd I'm falling overThere's a fire in meWhen I call outYou built a fire, fireI'm going home.
Calling, calling, the stars are falling downCalling, calling, they knock me to the groundWith a fire, fire.
But there's a fire insideAnd I'm falling overThere's a fire insideWhen I call outThere's a fire insideWhen I'm falling overYou built a fire, fireI'm going home.

It's falling, it's fallingAnd outside a building comes tumbling down.And inside a child on the groundSays he'd do it again
And what am I to do?What in the world am I to say?There's nothing else to do.He says he'll change the world some dayI rejoice.
This morning I fell out of bedWhen I woke up to what he had saidEverything's crazyBut I'm too lazy to lie
And what am I to do?Just tell me what am I supposed to say?I can't change the worldBut I can change the world in meRejoiceRejoice
And what am I to do?Just tell me what am I supposed to say?I can't change the worldBut I can change the world in me
I rejoice
Rejoice In the rest of the world

Outside, somebody's outsideSomebody's knocking at the door.There's a black car parked at the side of the roadDon't go to the doorDon't go to the door.

Won't you be back tomorrow,Won't you be back tomorrow,Will you be back tomorrow?Can I sleep tonight?
Who broke the windowWho broke down the door?Who tore the curtainAnd who was it for?Who heals the woundsWho heals the scars?Open the door, open the door.

He's coming backHe's coming backO believe Him.

Stranger, stranger in a strange land.He looked at me like I was the one who should run.
We asked him to smile for a photographWaited a while to see if we could make him laugh.
The soldier asked for a cigaretteHis smiling face I can't forget.He looked at me across the streetBut that's a long way here.
Oh, and I wish you were here.Oh, and I wish you were here.
Stranger, stranger in a strange land.He looked at me like I was the one who should run.
I watched as he watched us get back on the busI watched the way it wasThe way it was when he was with usAnd I really don't mind sleeping on the floorBut I couldn't sleep after what I sawI wrote this letter to tell you the way I feel.
Oh I wish you were hereOh I wish you were hereTo see what I could seeTo hearAnd I wish you were here.
