LYRICS Well we can't stay in this place forever I can see that it's making you blue And it's not 'cause you're poor that you want something more And your spirit is telling you too And we can't put it off any longer 'Cause the right time might never be here I'll take you somewhere you'll never forget This is as close as a dream ever gets And you feel like you're part of a painting still wet Is there anybody there who can answer my prayer Don't blow up the world until I've shown you Paris Don't blow up the world until I've taken you there There's a life that we live in frustration And a life that we live in our minds And you know if we stay we will both dearly pay 'Cause the blind are leading the blind And if you're not killed it must make you stronger But before you get too strong to feel I'll show you something you've known from afar The sleeper will wake and you'll be who you are Where greed is the peasant and love is the tsar Is there anybody there who can answer my prayer Don't blow up the world until I've shown you Paris Don't blow up the world until I've taken you there And we'll roast in the chestnuts of winter And we'll roll in the flowers of spring And we'll put it back just as we found it It'll stay with you
