Powerful People Lyrics - Gino Vannelli

Look at the powerful people 

Stealing the sun from the day 

Wish I could do something about it 

When all I can do is pray 

It's a lonely afternoon 

With nowhere to go but my room 

And Sunday when there's time 

I think of these things on my mind 

And I don't know 

Where I will go 

Look at the ominous people 

Draining the salt from the sea 

Wish I could just stand up and shout it 

Why can't they let goodness be 

Oh it's a lonely afternoon 

With nowhere to go but my room 

And some day when there's time 

I think of these things on my mind 

And I don't know 

Where I will go 

Come on you world won't you give a damn 

Turn on some lights and see this garbage can 

Time is the essence if we plan to stay 

Death is in stride when filth is the pride of our home 

Wish I could just stand up and shout it 

Why can't they let goodness be 

Oh it's a lonely afternoon 

With nowhere to go but my room 

And Sunday when there's time 

I think of these things on my mind 

Oh and Monday there's no time 

So I close both my eyes and I'm blind 

And I don't care where oh where is my prayer
