What do you think of the world outside?
Does it turn you on? Does it make you want to hide?
How do you feel about the people you meet,
The songs you hear, the food you eat?
What do you think of the clothes you wear,
The size of your shoes, the colour of your hair?
How do you sleep in your bed at night?
Is the room too dark? Are the sheets too tight?
Look at you now, look at the way you’re growing
Look at you now, is there any way of knowing?
What’s going on your mind?
Do you think I can find
A way to your heart?
Take me and lead me behind
All these years that blind me
And keep us apart.
Will your days be full of bits and bytes?
Will you fight for peace and human rights?
Will you surf at night on a CD-Rom,
Try to stop the atomic bomb?
Will you duck the bridge, jump the style,
Hold your head up high and smile?
Will you set your sights on the stars in the sky
Will you wonder why all the good men die?
Look at you now, look at the way you’re growing
Look at you now, is there any way of knowing?
What’s going on your mind?
Do you think I can find
A way to your heart?
Take me and lead me behind
All these years that blind me
And keep us apart.
Will man be torn by religion and race,
Up to his neck in nuclear waste?
Will children scream in the dead of night?
Will Greenpeace and Amnesty lose the fight?
Will anybody still find time to sing
Or read about Martin Luther King?
Will a man be judged by the colour of his skin?
Will the answer still be blowing in the wind?
Look at you now, look at the way you’re growing
Look at you now, is there any way of knowing?
What’s going on your mind?
Do you think I can find
A way to your heart?
Take me and lead me behind
All these years that blind me
And keep us apart.
