Lyrics Howard Jones

Howard Jones

Respected

Here in the dark, the shadows, they haunt me

Here in the shade, oh, the bright lights, they blind me

Yesterday is gone, time for moving on

Here's a brand new start, gonna base it on my heart

It's another day, I've got to find a better way

Won't you help me?

Failing that

If you have to go

It's all up to me, I know

I just wanna change my world but from the inside

I just wanna live my life

And make this place, make this time

For all our lives to be respected

Here in the cold light of day, this vision

Paints a different world, a world of the heart

And I want to live there

I've been on the run from all the people I've become

I want to shed this skin and start it all again

I want to draw a line in the sand for one last time

Will you help me?

Failing that

If you have to go

It's all up to me, I know

I just wanna change my world but from the inside

I just wanna live my life

With some hope and to do what's right

I just wanna change this world

And make this place, make this time

For all our lives to be respected

I just wanna change my world

(Change my world, ooh)

I just wanna live my life and to do what's right

(I just wanna live my life and to do what's right)

I just wanna change this world

(I just wanna change this world from the inside)

I just wanna live my life

(Just wanna live my life)
