Song Lyrics

Now everybody
Has a right to be living their life
Oh but we're a long long way
A long way from paradise
If there is freedom
Tell me why everybody wants to fight
Oh 'cause we're a long long way
A long way from paradise

You might be strong enough
You might be rich enough
You might be blind enough
To push it all aside
No matter what you do
It all keeps coming back to me and you

---

Give a little bit of love
And you get it back
Give a little bit of pain
You're caught in a trap
For every little thing that you say or do
Give a little bit of love
And it will come back to you

You got your reasons
Are you sure there
Reasons to be right
Oh 'cause we're a long long way
A long way from paradise
Don't let your anger
Or your fear become your suicide
'Cause we're a long long way
A long way from paradise

You must be strong enough
We must be great enough
We've waited long enough
Now it's time to say goodbye
We got some rules to burn
So many lessons to be learned

---

Now I believe in peace and harmony
You've got to believe in love
Before you can be free
So take a hand
Everybody make a friend
I want you to believe in love
Like I believe
