what about the roses
and the ones I used to send to you
and what about the promises
where we´d be goin´ and what we´d do
and what about the babies
you were gonna have with me
when we gonna stand up and just be
when we gonna stand up and be free

how about those strangers there
the ones sleeping back to back in the same bed again
they´re both wishing they could be anywhere else
they´re both wishing they could start all over again yeah
and what about the lonely people
I´m talking ´bout you and me yeah
when we gonna stand up and just be
when we gonna stand up and be free

it´s a long road to follow though
your heart will tell you where to go
baby, I´m still waiting and your so very far away
I´m out here on my island surrounded by the sea
who knows where the time goes
and who knows when you´ll ever be free

and what about the winner
the one who leaves you alone for weeks at a time
your light is growing dimmer baby
and the things you need his money won´t buy
and what about the lonely people
I´m talking ´bout you and me
when we gonna stand up and be free
when we gonna stand up and just be
when we gonna stand up and be free
you and me babe

stand up and be free
stand up and be free
talking ´bout you and me
you and me babe
stand up and be free
stand up and be free
stand up and be free

and what about the lonely people
I´m talking ´bout me and you
let´s be free
let´s be free
let´s be free
