Respected - Howard Jones

Here in the dark, the shadows, they haunt me

Here in the shade, oh the bright lights, they blind me

Yesterday is gone, time for moving on

Here’s a brand new start, gonna base it on my heart

It’s another day, I’ve got to find a better way

Won’t you help me?

Failing that

If you have to go

It’s all up to me, I know

I just wanna change my world

But from the inside

I just wanna live my life

And make this place, make this time

For all our lives to be

Respected

Here in the cold, light of day, this vision

Paints a different world, a world of the heart

And I’d like to live there

I’ve been on the run, from all the people I’ve become

I want to shed this skin, and start it all again

I want to draw a line, in the sand for one last time

Will you help me?

Failing that

If you have to go

It’s all up to me I know

I just wanna change my world

But from the inside

I just wanna live my life

With some hope, and to do what’s right

I just wanna change this world

And make this place, make this time

For all our lives to be

Respected
