How Can We Ease The Pain - Maxi Priest

Waking up to a dry land

With empty glasses in their hands

To the bone I see their call

A fate for one and all

Watch relief fall from the sky

Still resources running dry

Tell me, how can we ease the pain

That the people going under

Tell me, how can we ease the pain

Tell me, who’s gonna take the blame

How can we ease the pain

That the people going under

Tell me, how can we ease the pain

Tell me, who’s gonna take the blame

I watched the children cry

No tears within their eyes

Then I ask the reason why

Life seems to be on the slide

Electing one with no feelings

Who’s gonna pay for their tomorrow

Tell me, how can we ease the pain

That the people going under

Tell me, how can we ease the pain

Tell me, who’s gonna take the blame

How can we ease the pain

That the people going under

Tell me, how can we ease the pain

Tell me, who’s gonna take the blame

That’s what I’d like to know

Cos it’s been so long

And it seems to me to be so wrong

Life it’s like a ball against the wall

A ball against the wall

If you throw love against the wall

It comes back to you

And if you throw hate against the wall

It’s gonna follow you

So what we gonna do to ease the pain

(ease the pain)

(ease the pain)
