a moving song and great vocals as usual  -- the delay & atmospherics on the guitar are a nice touch

.......a heartbreaking truth so compassionately sung Paul. Wonderful song.

had another listen today and it brought up memories, and I can't say exactly why, of Tracy Chapman

I don't know why but the lyrics make me think of people in war torn countries, even though it doesn't explicitly mention that. Great tune! :)

Reality is often closer than we want it to be. An immediate song – very poetic. 🪐

Somewhere cross the world
People free and brave
Anything they want they take
It's a land of plenty
Enough for everyone
Except for those with none

Don't worry darling 
Little one dry your tears
It's somewhere far from here

Got tiny little hearts
To hear the way they live
So little love left to give
And if they got no house
They live on the street
Or maybe in a car's backseat

But don't worry darling
Little one dry your tears
It's somewhere far from here

Late at night they sing their songs
With all the grace of Babylon

My beautiful child
May you never see
What's become of their dream
Soon the day will be dawning
We'll wake and rise my darling
While somewhere night has fallen 
Somewhere far from here

But don't worry darling
Little one dry your tears
It's somewhere far from here
