In the brown tints of autumn I see only gold
I really feel young now, used to feel old.
The world seems a lot like a vibrant paradise,
You'll see it like that, too, if you open your eyes.
Music fills my ears and enriches my life,
Drives away all the pain and the strife.
Everywhere I see beauty, I see fresh open eyes
Sweeping away the corruption and lies.
We fought for the truth 23 years long
About how fine people died - it was wrong, wrong, wrong.
We fought and we won, the truth will out.
Where I see injustice, I will shouting, shout, shout.
One million children will this Xmas feel loss
Because they can't see their dads, they ask why - told just "cos".
The reason's quite hard for us to explain.
The feeling's more simple, just pain, pain, pain.
So fight for what's right, and see all that's good.
Eat well, and eat right, the world's lovely food.
Love deeply, risk hurt, be joyous and strong,
And may your precious life be happy and long.
