A Million Conversations - Smokie

We can try to understand

It’s something we should know

A mother’s dream is broken

And she’s got nowhere to go

Do we know just what we’re doing

We’re living in the past

The hopes and dreams we’re hiding

Seem to hold on to the last

A million conversations never said a word

Countless delegations saying things that won’t be heard

Oh oh try to understand

The children of the future

Gotta have a chance

Oh oh it’s time to make it right

There’s gotta be a better way

There’s gotta be a better way

You’ll fight a war for fame

No-one takes the blame

She sells her soul for water

As they faced another plane

We don’t know what we’re doing

The innocent won’t last

Praying that their conscience makes

Them recognise the past

A million conversations never said a word

Countless delegations saying things that

Won’t be heard

Oh oh try to understand

The children of the future

Gotta have a chance

Oh oh it’s time to make it right

There’s gotta be a better way

There’s gotta be a better way
