Dream the World Away

Dream the World Away - Wakeman with Wakeman

The little girl watches the rich folk passing by

The pavement's cold and hard but she don't cry

Her helpless little smile is the way that she survives

You can turn your head but your heart cannot hide

The daddy watches his little daughter play

But the only thing he wants is her pay at the end of the day

To say that he cares brings a tear to my eyes

The profiteering business man he's the one should cry

Somewhere in the world there's got to be a way

To save this little girl from fading away

Somewhere in the world there has to be some sign

Before she walks the street the final time

Her hands are reaching out as you sit there quietly

The silence in her eyes shows no need for hospitality

The child she shows no feelings no expressions

On her face so pale

Another three years on and she'll have something else for sale

Tell me what we can do to help her live a better life

Anything we give somebody takes away

So take what you can find

And dream the world away

Somewhere in the world there's got to be a way

To save this little girl from fading away

Somewhere in the world there has to be a sign

Before she walks the streets again just dream the world away
