lyrics

Words & Music
Ted Barrett & Ian Rushton

There's a space on my wall
for a big screen TV
a new car would be nice
that's just what I need
to make me feel whole
a new Gibson guitar
with built in digital
could make me a star

Off in the distance
a mother is crying
for a starving child
who knows she is lying
about God's love
raining down from above

My life seems empty
but my closets are full
of toys I once wanted
but make me feel awful
when I see ruined cities
and war refugees
all in high definition
on a big screen TV

And off in the distance
a mother is crying
for a starving child
who knows she is lying
about God's love
raining down from above

There's a hole in my heart
where my soul used to be
before makin' money
left me unable to see
the suffering of others
and their simple needs
for food and shelter
and my charity

And off in the distance
a mother is crying
for a starving child
who knows she is lying
about God's love
raining down from above

I'm going to buy myself peace
and a goodnight?s sleep
by giving my Christmas
to the mothers who weep
for their starving children
too hungry for faith
rain down some love
and restore their belief

Off in the distance
a mother is crying
for a starving child
who knows she is lying
about God's love
raining down from above
