lee ryan - stand up as people

---

All I hear is voices in the crowd,
They only whisper though they frown
People saying oh it's such a shame
Still they only look to pass the blame

If we can find a way to work things out
The only way to start is to start now

Welcome to a better place, better place

When are we gonna stand up as people
Realize that as people we're all equal
We don't want no world war sequel
For the love of god think of the people
When are we gonna stand up as people
Realize that as people we're all equal
We don't want no world war sequel
For the love of god think of the people

Children always learn by what they see
So we gotta practice what we preach
Don't you know that's the game of life
That we abuse when we choose to fight

If we can find a way to work things out
The only way to start is to start now

When are we gonna stand up as people
Realize that as people we're all equal
We don't want no world war sequel
For the love of god think of the people
When are we gonna stand up as people
Realize that as people we're all equal
We don't want no world war sequel
For the love of god think of the people

I pray before I sleep at night
(I pray, I pray)
That I'll wake to find a clear blue sky

When are we gonna stand up as people
Realize that as people we're all equal
We don't want no world war sequel
For the love of god think of the people
When are we gonna stand up as people
Realize that as people we're all equal
We don't want no world war sequel
For the love of god think of the people

aceasta este o piesa mai veche, insa mesajul sau este cat se poate de actual si de vizibil in realitatea lumii de astazi. parerea mea este ca lee ryan avea mai multa dreptate decat isi inchipuia cand a scris cuvintele "tot ce aud sunt voci din multime, sunt doar soapte, chiar daca lumea se incrunta. oamenii spun 'oh, e o rusine'; chiar si asa, ei doar cauta sa paseze vina." (prima strofa). puteti spune sincer ca asta nu e adevarat in ziua de azi? mi-ar placea ca raspunsul la aceasta intrebare sa fie pozitiv, insa ma tem ca vom mai avea putin de asteptat pana ca asta sa fie posibil.
