All around the world there's people trying to stay alive
They're fighting and they're starving in the struggle to survive
Politicians preaching war right down to history
The only thing they really teach is pain and misery
Cause we're standing by a river
And the river's deep and wide
We've got to get together before we reach the other side
Uhh, I would be so surprised
If they put the people right now
I would be overjoyed
Uhh, I would be so surprised
If they put the people right now
I would be overjoyed
Progress is the password you can hear it every day
What happened of the innocent that are standing in the way
Tomorrow is a question mark and no we can't avoid
So wiggle out just where you stand before the world's destroyed
Cause we're standing by a river
And the river's deep and wide
We've got to get together before we reach the other side
Uhh, I would be so surprised
If they put the people right now
I would be overjoyed
Uhh, I would be so surprised
If they put the people right now
I would be overjoyed
