Lyrics

Everybody standing in a lane
Crying out for the rain
Hoping for a miracle
To drive away the pain
Some are heavy with a thirst
Which burns their very soul
And no one sees direction
When standing in a hole
Big thirst on my head, Lord
Big thirst in my mouth
I can see those green fields
Stretching to the south
Some are walking in their graves
Knowing it's no use
Beaten up for ignorance
And treated with abuse
Oh God I need your hand so bad
To help me get through
Cause I know there's a place for me
Standing next to you
Everybody's looking up at the sky
Waiting for a sign
Blind men leading blind men
And dragging on the line
People shooting at the sun
Trying hard not to see
All the trouble in this world
Is caused by you and me
Written by: Dave Mason, Jim Capaldi
