Howard Jones - What Can I Say? Lyrics

Questions on how you'd like to meet Jesus
Or how you'd like to live with Him
Some people follow gurus, search truth and knowledge
Some people don't want any religion in their life
They just want to feel okay

So far history is full of great people
Who like to see peace in the world
Who like to see peace in the world

So far history is full of great people
Who like to see peace in the world
Who like to see peace in the world

Some people want to get on the council
Improve the environment
Some people want be members of parliament
And improve the country
Some people want be anarchists
And improve the whole world, oh, oh, oh

So far history is full of great people
Who like to see peace in this world
Who like to see peace in this world

So far history is full of great people
Who like to see peace in the world
Who like to see peace in the world

But there isn't any peace, anywhere, really
Everyone and everything is in a hopeless mess
Arguing and fighting
Everyone and everything is in a hopeless mess
Arguing and fighting, so what can we do about it?

How about doing more listening than talking
Giving everyone the benefit of the doubt
People say give and take, why can't we give and give?
People say give and take, why can't we give and give?

This isn't exactly going to bring about peace in the world
But it's something, but it's something
And we will probably still have a bad time
What can I say, what can I say?
What can I say, what can I say?
