I Sit up in My Window Lyrics[Verse 1]
I sit up in my window and look towards the sun
Urged to write this song to touch the ears of everyone
The TV ticker's looping the words I've seen before
Conquer and divide, not gonna buy it anymore

[Verse 2]
Well I'm just one and you're just one, but if we can agree
And one day become a million, so much we can achieve
I tell you we can change the world, the power's at our feet
Watch the ripples travel and across the oceans meet
[Verse 3]
So I'm calling all my brothers, my sisters stand with me
We have a voice, we have a role, it's our humanity
Let the powers that be, do their thing and we can do ours too
Blame is not constructive there's so much that we can do

[Verse 4]
The environment, well you know the score, we have to scale back
Why would we choose to gas ourselves, what lunacy is that?
Solutions they are everywhere, let's give these guys a voice
Make the corporations listen and provide a greener choice

[Verse 5]
Bring on a groovy electric car, diversify the crops
Learn from Mother Nature, the Genius of the lot
Stop buying and buying and needing more, it's time to trim the fat
The best things in life are free my friend you won't miss half the crap

[Verse 6]
War can only lead to war, seen time and time again
Two sides believing they're both right, will fight until the end
Someone must be ready, to extend the hand of peace
To break the vicious cycle is a strength beyond belief

[Verse 7]
If someone guns a man down or maybe it's a child
The bloodline doesn't stop there, the blood runs far and wide
The women they are screaming, the men break down and cry
Then go and find a gun to hit back right between the eyes
[Verse 8]
What one does to the World, he does unto himself
So think before you act my friend, think of the consequence
When you're faced with hostility disputes or disdain
Think if you were in their shoes, might you feel the very same?

[Verse 9]
We started off as babies, we started off the same
Depending on your place of birth you're sold a different game
So don't believe everything you think or everything you've read
The memes we've learnt from day one are from someone else's head

[Verse 10]
The TV ticker's looping still churning out the same
I shake my head and wonder will it always be this way?
I sit up in my window such beauty in full sight
Thank you all for listening, I hope these words take flight

[Verse 11]
I'm calling all my brothers, my sisters stand with me
Cause I have a dream that one day we might live in harmony
It's not science fiction baby, I hope that you'll agree
Let's sow the seeds of love and be the change we wanna see

[Verse 12]
It's in our reach, reach for the stars, let's chart a course brand new
Cause I've never lived through a time where disaster hasn't loomed
My heart it is beaming now, you'll see it from the moon
Like Batman's signal shining every time you play this tune
