You don’t smell your neighbour’s coffee
And you don’t hear them when they scream
These four walls that surround your life
They keep you clean
Separate the different races
So that you can feel secure
Don’t look and you won’t get hurt
Cause one thing’s sure

You’ve got to guard your heart like the finest pearl
Drawn from a distant sea kept hidden from a greedy world
It’s worth your weight in blood in the eyes of men
It’s all I want and cannot touch ‘cause I
I am one of them

When I set out cross the wasteland
For the peaceful riverside
I still hope for a sign that you
Care I’m alive
But you don’t notice that I’m passing
You would fear me if you knew
Just tune out what you can’t control
And do what you must do

You have good reasons for how you’re behaving
You’re on a mission this world needs saving

You’ve got to guard your heart like the finest pearl
Drawn from a distant sea kept hidden from a greedy world
It’s worth your weight in blood in the eyes of men
It’s all I want and cannot touch ‘cause I
I am one of them
