Listen,
 I can hear a voice,
 I need a helping  hand,
 just to beat the void.
 I need a mission,
 a dream to stop me talking  to myself
 and now the silence  is broken
 and my soul  is to sell
 I need to pick  up the pieces,
 to scatter  to the wind
 hold the city  to your ears
 and you can hear  the wind come in.
 But you can’t  change the world  with a song
 and you can’t  make it right  when it’s wrong.
I  cannot stop this music travelling  round with me wherever  I go,
 it’s playing  for you.
I  cannot stop the voice unravelling  round me whatever  I do,
 it’s talking  to you.
The  world dances to the rhythm  of its own
 heart beating  for you, however  you lose.
So  speak to me
 believe,  believe, believe  me.
 Don’t let  it slip,  through your fingertips.
 When there’s  a ghost,
 don’t try to reason with  it.
 Because now I’m tired,  I’m wired,
 so I will  not miss a thing.
 I rope my words  out to dry
 and I’ve forgotten  what to sing
 But you can’t  change the world  with a song
 and you can’t  make it right  when it’s wrong.
I  cannot stop this music travelling  round with me wherever  I go,
 it’s playing  for you.
I  cannot stop the voice unravelling  round me whatever  I do,
 it’s talking  to you.
The  world dances to the rhythm  of its own
 heart beating  for you, however  you lose.
So  speak to me
 believe,  believe, believe  me.
 If that’s  what it was to you,
 then that’s  what it was to me.
 If that’s  what it was to you,
 then that’s  what it was to me.
 If that’s  what it was to you,
 then that’s  what it was to me.
 But you can’t  change the world  with a song
 and you can’t  make it right  when it’s wrong.
I  cannot stop this music travelling  round with me wherever  I go,
 it’s playing  for you.
I  cannot stop the voice unravelling  round me whatever  I do,
 it’s talking  to you.
The  world dances to the rhythm  of its own
 heart beating  for you, however  you lose.
So  speak to me
 believe,  believe, believe  me.
 believe,  believe, believe  me.
