Here are the lyrics:
I am so weary, so very tired. I Can’t even say my name.
I am so hungry, so sick and frightened. I Can’t even hold my head up.
I am so hungry, so sick and frightened. I Can’t even hold my head up.
I’m not an animal. Not some strange creature. I am a human..
I have such dreams I can tell you about, I have such love I can tell you about,
If you would listen.
I have such dreams I can tell you about, I have such love I can tell you about,
If you would listen.
I am unwanted, my land is a desert, and all of my life a nightmare.
I’m not an animal, not some strange creature, I am a human.
I’m not an animal, not some strange creature, I am a human.
I have such dreams I can tell you about, I have such love I can tell you about,
If you would listen.
If you would listen.
So stop all the fighting, I’ll care for my children, let’s burn all the guns and rockets.
We’ll paint the world kindly, use many colours, and light up the sky with magic.
We’ll paint the world kindly, use many colours, and light up the sky with magic.
I’m not an animal, not some strange creature, I am a human.
And I have such dreams I can tell you about, I have such joy I can tell you about.
If you would listen.
And I have such dreams I can tell you about, I have such joy I can tell you about.
If you would listen.
I am the frightened, I am your sister.
I am the homeless, I am your brother.
I am the future, I am the children.
I am the homeless, I am your brother.
I am the future, I am the children.
