Tell Me A Story Lyrics

In the cruel of dawn, so young and battleworn
No time for games, they're makin' their way in the urba-an sprawl
They're not lookin' for love, just a little understa-andin'
That's all there can be

Tell me a story, take me to another land
This world we were born in, is one I'll never understand

In the counting house, the kings are counting out
The rich take it a-all, giving alms to the poor for some third wor-orld war
They're not countin' on love, they just count their mo-oney
Like no-one goes hu-ungry

Tell me a story, take me to another land
This world we were born in, is one I'll never understand
So won't you tell me a secret, take me to a better place
Where white flags are flyin', there'll be an anthem for the human race

What about mea-eaning? - one world
What about rea-eason? - one hopeNINETEEN 27 - Tell Me A Story - http://motolyrics.com/nineteen-27/tell-me-a-story-lyrics.html
What about free-eedom? Oh won't you tell me a story

In the dead of night, too many people cry
Hand over hand, they're makin' their stand for what they know i-is right
They're not lookin' for love, they just want their free-eedom
And you just can't stand by, closing your eyes
When all of your futures are lyin' in there blee-eedin'

Tell me a story, take me to another land
This world we were born in, is one I'll never understand
Oh won't you tell me a secret, take me to a better place
Where the white flags are flyin', there'll be an anthem for the human race

What about mea-eaning? - one world
What about rea-eason? - one hope
What about free-eedom? Oh won't you tell me a story

One world - what about love?
Our time - what about rea-eason
One hope - what about free-eedom?
