White Heart - Messiah lyrics

You're looking at me With those dark wounded eyes You say, "why do we fight like this" I got no reply You say, "save me this argument save me this grief" I haven't got the heart to say I can't even save myself We're in a jungle of words But one thing is clear If it's up to either one of us We'll never ever get out of here We need a leader, a lover A pillar of fire A teacher, a healer Oh, can't you see We need a Messiah We need a Messiah We need a Messiah Oh, we need a Messiah They're talking homeless and poor They're talking animal rights See the Hollywood daffodils Blooming in the TV lights They say, "save the forests, save the whales save them all by telemail" Some of them believe in the latest cause Some of them just see another curtain call And me I got this sick kind of feeling inside I'm starting to think about all my pride Do we know When are we gonna see That the power to change Has got to come from something Greater than you and me We need a leader, a lover A pillar of fire A teacher, a healer Oh, can't you see We need a Messiah We need a Messiah We need a Messiah Oh, we need a Messiah
