   I'm shouting all about love,  while they treated you like a dog
   When you were  the one who  had made it  so clear,  all those  years  ago
 
   I'm talking all about how to  give, they don't act with much honesty
   But you point  the way to  the truth when  you say,  all you  need is  love
  CHORUS 1:
   Living with  good and  bad, I  always looked up to you
   Now we're left  cold and  sad, by  someone the devil's best friend
   Someone who offended  all
   We're living in a bad dream,  they've forgotten all about mankind
   And you were  the one they backed  up to  the wall,  all those  years  ago
   You were the  one who  imagined it  all, all  those years  ago
  all those years ago
  (solo over)
 
 
   all those years ago
 
 
 
  CHORUS 2:
   Deep in the  darkest  night, I  send out a prayer to you
   Now in the  world of  light, where the  spirit free of lies
   And all else that we despised
   They've forgotten all about  God, he's the only reason we exist
   Yet you were  the one that  they said was  so weird,  all those  years  ago
   You said  it all though not  many had  ears, all  those years  ago
 
You had control of our smiles and our tears, all those years ago-----
 
 
   all those years
 ago
