Watching The World Go By - Maxi Priest

There’s so much injustice here

I see it every day

Time and time we’ll try to change

And never find a way

We’ll climb the mountains far and wide

To find the truth behind the lies

Here I am just searching for some peace

Just watching the world go by

Counting the clouds up in the sky

I’m hoping for a new tomorrow

Without sadness and sorrows in my life

There is so much hate around

We need to find some love

So much disillusion

I just got to rise above

There is so much going down

To keep my feet on solid ground

Got to find an answer to my prayers

Just watching the world go by

Counting the clouds up in the sky

Getting all those complications

And those mad situations out of my life

Just watching the world go by

Seeing all the lonely people pass me by

I’m hoping for a new tomorrow

Without sadness and sorrows in my life

My life, in my life, in my life, ooh yeah

In my life, oh yeah

Come along now, now, now, now

Come along now, now, now, now

You need to spend some time to look into yourself

And watch the river flow into the sea

You travel down a highway, not knowing where it goes

And listening to the music as it flows

Just watching the world go by

Counting the clouds up in the sky

Getting all those complications

And those mad situations out of my life

Just watching the world go by

Seeing all the lonely people pass me by

I’m hoping for a new tomorrow

Without sadness and sorrows in my life

Just watching the world go by

Counting the clouds up in the sky

Getting all those complications

And those mad situations out of my life

Watching the world go by

Seeing all the lonely people pass me by

I’m hoping for a new tomorrow

Without sadness and sorrows in my life

Watching the world go by
