Lyrics


And Then...

Let's take a map of the world

Tear it into pieces

All of the boys and the girls

Will see how easy it is


To pull it all down and start again

From the top to the bottom and then

I'll have faith, or I prefer

To think that things couldn't turn out worse


All that we need at the start's

Universal revolution (that's all)

And if we trust in our hearts

We'll find the solutions


Took a plane across the world

Got in a car

When I had reached my destination

I hadn't gone far


Let's take the whole of the world

The mountains and the sand

Let all the boys and the girls

Shape it in their hands
