Lyrics Engelbert Humperdinck – Seven Billion People
Text:
Everybody’s talking
And fighting to be heard
No-one listens anymore,
So no-one hears a word
We eat our breakfast, work all day
Hide inside our houses
The center of the universe is getting pretty crowded
We dream our dreams and cry our tears
Look for easy answers
Hate what we don’t understand,
And run from what connects us
Seven billion people
Living on a little planet
Wonder what we’re doing here
But who can understand it
Seven billion people
Looking for a revelation
Could be life’s a journey
And not a destination
We agitate and demonstrate
Just too many causes
Pol-ti-cally so correct, sometimes we grasp at straws
We fight our tears and in the end
Does anything get clearer?
We learn to see what life could be
Lookin’ in a rear-view mirror
Love and hate are easy lies everybody uses
It’s hard to lose the things we prize if everyone refuses
Seven billion people
Living on a little planet
But who can understand it
Seven billion people
Looking for a revelation
Could be life’s a journey
And not a destination
