 Old man 
Your race is run 
You think it's over 
It's only begun 
Child is born 
Who has to face 
The world you're leaving 
A dangerous place. 
Listen to the voices 
Crying to be free 
Can we be the promise that we promised to be 
Love and understanding 
Are better than a war 
People just laughing 'cause they've heard it before. 
Night chills 
In plenty town 
Cardboard hotels 
They sleep on the ground 
Hard choices 
How to respond 
Red or rosé 
With the duck à l'orange. 
Listen to the voices 
So easy to ignore 
Choruses of old folk scared to open the door 
Living in the shadows 
And dying in the cold 
Inner city jungle ain't no place to grow old. 
Helpless 
We'll never be 
Though justice 
Is so hard to see 
Kindness, yes 
That same old song 
But don't stop singing 
There's so much strength in kindness. 
Listen to the voices - crying to be free 
Crying to be free - can we be the promise 
Can we be the promise - that we promised to be 
Love and understanding - better than a war 
Are better than a war - people just laughing 
People just laughing 'cause they've heard it before. 
Listen to the voices 
Crying to be free 
Can we be the promise that we promised to be. 
Listen to the voices - listen to the voices 
Crying to be free - crying to be free 
Can we be the promise - can we be the promise 
That we promised to be 
Love and understanding - love and understanding 
Are better than a war - better than a war 
People just laughing 
People just laughing 'cause they've heard it before.
