Loneliness cries deep from my soul
Keeps trying to tell me about the world growing so cold
Too many people trying to take from my earth
But we can’t live without controlling our birth

Deep inside a voice cries out for you
It’s not alone ’cause people, I been cryin’ too
If we don’t stop what we all see is wrong
I guarantee you mankind won’t live long

There’s a land, a glorious land
It’s right here on earth
Understand what you can from the land
Your life is its worth

Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh

To face the problems that everyone’s found
We must replace what we took out of the ground
Pray for your brother, let your soul find a way
Help one another, oh, please listen to what I say

There’s a land, a glorious land
It’s right here on earth
Understand what you can from the land
Your life is its worth

Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh

Loneliness
Oh, I can’t get away from loneliness
Yeah, loneliness
Loneliness

Yeah, lonely, lone, loneliness
I just can’t get away from lonely, loneliness
Yeah, yeah

Loneliness
Can’t get away from loneliness
Can’t get away from loneliness
Can’t get away from loneliness
Can’t get away from loneliness

Can’t get away from loneliness
Can’t get away from loneliness
Can’t get away from loneliness
Can’t get away from loneliness
Can’t get away from loneliness
