lyrics

Give me sunshine
and the waters edge
Give me things that I can’t buy
Like this feeling inside

Fill my hopes and live my dreams
In all the places in between
I feel I’m wasting so much time
Working to survive yeah, yeah

Oh babe you’ve got to get here with me
I’ve got all this life to live and I need you to make it real

We’re gonna take it so high
we’re gonna touch the sky
Gonna make you believe
that you don’t have to be somebody’s labour

Give me sunshine
At the rainbows edge
When my maker says it’s time
I wont feel denied

So many people I have met
Will be so easy to forget
So take that spell off me
Cos I don’t believe in your way

Oh babe you’ve got to get here with me
I’ve got all this life to live and I need you to make it real

We’re gonna take it so high
we’re gonna touch the sky
Gonna make you believe
that you don’t have to be somebody’s labour

it’s not about copping out
and it’s not about giving in
you might have to try a little harder
to find the desire within

you might have to be a little bolder
you’ll be glad you did when you’re older
don’t be somebody’s soldier
don’t sacrifice your soul yeah

it might be a little risky
you might have to be a little braver
not to be somebody’s saviour
not to be somebody’s labour
