The video begins with the statement "All the world await this human drama, of man's faith in God", which then leads straight to the start of the song itself. It is mainly black-and-white footage (however, there is a brief period of colour film around the middle eight) of music concert goers, people experiencing religious revelations and preacher men. The video ends with a wild audience applauding 1950s teen idol Fabian Forte, and finally a preacher proclaiming; "When you get to heaven, it'll all be out, and over."
Time always wins me
Over when I am tired
I will not allow this to
Be me, all that it can be
You can't kill me, oh
If I could buy anything,
I would buy all the times
That got hard and got tough
Not enough to break me
All I want is to reach out for all of you, all of you
It's the simple things that make me, and take me, all the way
All I need to get by
Is the death of me, all that can not
Anything through you
I can tell what I wanted
All I need to get by
Is the death of me, all that can not
Anything through you
I can tell what I wanted
(I can tell what I wanted)
All I need to get by
Is the death of me, all that can not
Anything through you
