歌词
Yeah yeah I wanna stop the time
Things are moving so fast
Why don’t you want to understand?
There’s pain in every hand I see.
The woe in people’s eyes is clear,(so clear)
The cries of mothers reach my ears.
Why do you turn your face away? oh you
Why won’t you hear the words I say?
I’m begging now, I’m begging now
I’m on my knees—
Please stop the time,
Let’s find some peace.
We’ve got to stop it now, stop it now,
Time is ticking, can’t you see?
We’ve got to heal the world somehow
Together, you and me.
Oh, stop the time, just stop the time,
Let’s make the pain subside.
Do you hear me? Can you feel me?
Let’s walk in peace, side by side
Yeah yeah I'm losing control,
Somebody is gotta hold on me,
Can you hear the voices rising?
A brighter future’s on the way.
If we stand and fight together,
We can bring a brighter day.
Every tear I see,
It breaks my soul,(shame on us)
A world divided takes its toll.
Children hungry, dreams decay,
Their laughter fading day by day.(how could it be, tell me)
Why do you choose to look away?(why)
This is our future, it’s on display.
I’m crying out, I’m crying out, I’m breaking down
We’ve got to turn this world around.
We’ve got to stop it now, stop it now,now now
Time is ticking, can’t you see?
We’ve got to heal the world somehow
Together, you and me (and maybe more)
Oh, stop the time, just stop the time,
Let’s make the pain subside.
Do you hear me? Can you feel me? (oh Mister)
Let’s walk in peace, side by side.(Oh Mister)
Outro : (Quiet Reflection)
Do you hear what I’m saying?
Do you feel what I feel inside?
Let’s stop the time, let’s stop the pain,
And let love be our guide.
