"Dream The World Away" lyrics - RICK WAKEMAN

The little girl watches the rich folk passing by
The pavement's cold and hard, but she don't cry
Her helpless little smile, is the way that she survives
You can turn your head, but your heart cannot hide.

The daddy watches his little daughter play
But the only thing he wants is her pay, at the end of the day
To say that he cares, brings a tear to my eyes
The profiteering business man, he's the one should cry.

Somewhere in the world, there's got to be a way
To save this little girl from fading away
Somewhere in the world there has to be some sign
Before she walks the street the final time.

Her hands are reaching out, as you sit there quietly
The silence in her eyes, shows no need for hospitality
The child she shows no feelings, no expressions
On her face, so pale
Another three years on and she'll have something else for sale.

Tell me what we can do, to help her live a better life
Anything we give, somebody takes away
So take what you can find
And dream the world away.

Somewhere in the world, there's got to be a way
To save this little girl from fading away
Somewhere in the world there has to be a sign
Before she walks the streets again - Just dream the world away.
