Midnight Oil - Nobody's Child Lyrics

Yeah, beauty, love, and compassion
Look around the world
'Cause nothing less will do
Yeah, I say beauty, love, and compassion
Spread it everywhere
'Cause nothing less will do

Still waters run so deep
Your kingdom wall falls so cheap
Nobody's child is coming home

When I came into this world now
Someone had to love me
'Cause nothing less would do
And I saw, as I got older
Beauty, truth, and compassion
Nothing less will do

Still waters run so deep
Your kingdom walls so steep
Nobody's child is coming home
Hey

You live your life in a fantasy
A secret life in a hideaway
And only you can tell what's wrong and right
A broken record you can't fix
A blind you draw to get some peace
And something from your childhood dark and deep

Beauty, love, and compassion, I say it one more time
Beauty, love, and compassion, one more time, I will say it
Beauty, truth, and compassion
Getting it every day
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I think someone said it out loud
I can tell you now
Alright, 'cause nothing less will do
