Can't Turn Away

The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I can hear them crying Tears of all mankind Oh children on the sidewalk Oh before their time There seems to be injustice So many people live in poverty A lack of dedication Oh it's like a mountain on the streets [Chorus] Oh I just can't turn away I just can't turn away 2x A sense of desperation Tears like a dove Said I thought we had religion Why isn't that enough The sense of mass destruction Always had to ??? Starvation in the third world This isn't how it's meant to be [Chorus] Now it's criminal when you come to think about the world we're living always on the brink Like a time bomb we can still escape Make a first move it's not too late Politicians made this mess so let's clean it out, take a world of stress For the sake of children, you know what I mean Everybody's got a right to dream 2x It's like an ocean Ooh you gotta catch the wave Try your best to beat the system Oh before you hit for real Smoke spasm from the oil wells And I can't see the sun from where I am There's a breakdown in the ozone This couldn't be a part of nature's plan [Chorus]
