Lyrics

I’m just a wan d’ring on the face of this earth, meet ing so man y peo ple who are trying to be free,

and while I’m trav ’ling I hear so man y words.

Lan guage bar ri ers bro ken, now we’ve found it the key.

And if you (Dm)want the wind of change to blow a bout you and you’re the on ly oth er per son to (E7)know, don’t tell me.

I’m just a sing er in a rock and roll band.

A thou sand pic tures can be drawn from one word, on ly who is the art ist?

who We got ta a gree.

A thou sand miles ’ling can lead so man y ways.

Just to know who is driv ing, what a help it would be.

So if you (Dm)want this world of yours to turn a bout you and you can see ex act ly what son to (E7)do, please tell me.

I’m just a sing er in a rock and roll band.

How can we un der stand (Dm)ri ots by the peo ple for the (G7)peo ple who are on ly de (Em7)stroy ing them (Am)selves,

and when you (Dm7)see a fright ened per son who is (G)fright ened by the peo ple who are (Am)scorch ing this (E7)earth,

(Am)scorch ing this (E7)earth?

Mu sic is the trav el er cross ing the world, meet ing so man y peo ple, bridg ing the seas.

We’re just the sing ers in a rock and roll band.
