I feel a little low
I feel a little low
I feel a little lost
At no extra cost
And then I get a call
It's you on the line
Are you comin' out tonight
We'll have a whale of a time
Cos I'm sick of feeling shit
I'm sick of feeling bare
I'm sick of feeling hit
I'm sick of feeling neither here nor there
Put your hand on my head
hey little white boy
I need all the help I can get
My sheet is feeling is wet
It's from all my sweat I bet
And you know I wanna hold
Everything I ever met
Then I taste the salty tears
And I think of all the years
And I see I see you may
People are crying. Why can’t you hear?
People are dying. Why don’t you fear?
Are you that important, you do not care?
I need you and you need me.
People need loving. Why can’t you feel?
People are hurting. Why not help heal?
Are you that important, you do not care?
I need you and you need me.
CHORUS:
PEOPLE ARE CRYING.
PEOPLE ARE CRYING.
People are starving. Why don’t you know?
People with sadness. What do you sow?
Are you that important, you do not care?
I need you and you need me.
I hope that days come easy and moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,
More then anything, more then anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it,
To your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more then you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more then you take.
Oh More then anything, Yeah, and more then anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it,
To your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more then you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Ecstasy,ecstasy, e,e,e,e, ecstasy
Ecstasy,ecstasy, e,e,e,e, ecstasy

Oo, oo, oo. Oo, oo, oo.
Time doesn’t mean much to you or me.
As I, I live in misery,
Wanting you, beside me.
Oo, oo, oo. Oo, oo, oo.
Life doesn’t mean much to you or me.
As I, I cry so needlessly.
Wanting you, beside me.
CHORUS:
I remember that SEPTEMBER DAY.
You told me not to call or write again.
I remember your words so clearly,
Still I love you dearly
Oo, oo, oo. Oo, oo, oo.
Love doesn’t mean much to you or me.
Love was in my hopes and dreams
And in a warm summer breeze.
CHORUS: (Repeat)
