Lyrics Howard Jones – Building Our Own Future

People cryin’ out for some peace
There’s a lot of people listening
Time for us to sit down and talk
Try to build an understanding

What we feel can be altered in the moment we decide,
Between the light and the dark side.

So take a stand, in this place,
Cos’ we’re building our own future,
Just one by one,
Day by day,
Free to choose a life that’s better for all of us.

Putting people’s lives at the top
Is the first consideration
Changes in the heart of just one
Will affect entire nations

Don’t give it up to the fates and force around us,
We decide between the in and the outside

So take a stand, in this place,
Cos’ we’re building our own future,
Just one by one,
Day by day,
Free to choose a life that’s better for all of us.

Sons and daughters,
Mothers and fathers,
Sister’s and brothers,
Friends around the earth.
All deserve to live in a world that welcomes every single birth.

So take a stand, in this place,
Cos’ we’re building our own future,
Just one by one,

So take a stand, in this place,
Cos’ we’re building our own future,
Just one by one,
Day by day,
free to choose a life that’s better for all of us.

So take a stand, in this place,
Cos’ we’re building our own future,
Just one by one,
Day by day,
Free to choose a life that’s better for all of us.
