lyrics

I’m calling to you baby
from halfway round the world
Got your clothes, got your shoes
Got your food, got your girls
Got your armies of technicians
Your entire shop room floor
Got your face on my poster
Got your goals, I’ll get your world

I’m feeling good, I’m feeling you right with me
We’re going to do this thing together, you will trust me, you will see

You can export all your wisdom
We can thrive on good intentions
We can eat the food we’re given
Live to dream of circumvention
And you’ll see that we are equals
And you’ll see that we can do it
You will learn to know our love
You will learn to know our children.

I’m feeling good, I’m feeling you right with me
We’re going to do this thing together, you will trust me, you will see

Liberty for all, you said
Opportunity
Liberty for all, you said - Across the shining sea
