Lyrics

Afro Lover

Everybody wants to be happy
Everybody wants more money
Everybody wants more loving
Everybody wants the same things
I came across the border
Through the east and the west divide
The land between the trenches
Was patrolled by the deaf and the blind
The blind were shouting, ?Listen?
While the deaf said, ?Can't you see??
Somewhere deep in no man's land
The man has lost a key
I open up into this mystery
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen
There's centuries of fighting
So I brought myself a gun
The salesman called it freedom
So my enemy bought a bigger one
I'm saving up for a missile
That will shoot him up with love
Now his finger's on my button
And my hand is in his glove
I opened up into this mystery
Every key can lock you up or set you free
I believe that there is magic
In this mystery
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen
Everybody wants to be happy
Everybody wants more money
Everybody wants the same things
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen
I have seen
