I'm just a wandering on the face of this earth so meeting so many people who are trying to be free and while I'm traveling I hear so many words Language barriers broken now we've found the key and if you want the wind of change to blow about you and you're the only other person to know, don't tell me I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band. A thousand pictures can be drawn from one word only who is the artist we got to agree a thousand miles can lead so many ways Just to know who is driving what a help it would be so if you want this world of yours to turn about you and you can see exactly what to do please tell me I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band. How can we understand riots by the people for the people who are only destroying themselves and when you see a frightened person who is frightened by thepPeople who are scorching this earth. I'm just a wandering on the face of this earth meeting so many people who are trying to be free and while I'm traveling I hear so many words Language barriers broken now we've found the key and if you want the wind of change To blow about you aand you're the only other person to know, don't tell me I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band. How can we understand riots by the people for the people who are only destroying themselves and when you see a frightened person who is frightened by the people who are scorching this earth. Music is the traveller crossing our world meeting so many people bridging the seas I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band. we're just the singers in a rock and roll band. I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band...

[@hempelchamp]

The Electric Guitars Ain’t Plugged In! Lol!!

[@whackinesstomfooleryinc.7854]

@@CheapMobileGeek This was recorded during the "Other Side of Life" era, so Patrick Moraz would have been the keyboard player at the time. Not sure why he's not with them here. He's in all their other 80s era TV appearances that I've seen.
