You’re looking at me
With those dark wounded eyes
You say, “why do we fight like this”
I got no reply
You say, ”save me this argument
Save me this grief”
I haven’t got the heart to say
I can’t even save myself
We’re in a jungle of words
But one thing is clear
If it’s up to either one of us
We’ll never ever get out of here
We need a leader, a lover
A pillar of fire
A teacher, a healer
Oh, can’t you seeWe need a Messiah
We need a Messiah
We need a Messiah
Oh, we need a Messiah
They’re talking homeless and poor
They’re talking animal rights
See the Hollywood daffodils
Blooming in the TV lights
They say, “save the forests, save the whales
Save them all by telemail”
Some of them believe in the latest cause
Some of them just see another curtain call
And me I got this sick kind of feeling inside
I’m starting to think about all my pride
Do we know
When are we gonna see
That the power to change
Has got to come from something
Greater than you and me
We need a leader, a lover
A pillar of fire
A teacher, a healer
Oh, can’t you see
We need a Messiah
We need a Messiah
We need a Messiah
Oh, we need a Messiah
