Lyrics for Show Me

Show me the meaning of the word Show me the meaning of the word 'Cause I've heard so much about it They say you can't live without it Welcome to the human race With its wars, disease and brutality You with your innocence and grace Restore some pride and dignity To a world in decline Welcome to a special place In a heart of stone that's cold and grey You with your angel face Keep the despair at bay Send it away, and Show me the meaning of the word Show me the meaning of the word 'Cause I've heard so much about it I don't want to live without it I don't want to live without it Oh, I want love, I want love, I want love Welcome here from outer space The milky way still in your eyes You found yourself a hopeless case One seeking perfection on earth That's some kind of rebirth, so Show me the meaning of the word Show me the meaning of the word 'Cause I've heard so much about it Don't make me live without it Don't make me live without it Oh, love, I want love, I want love, I want love
