How can we fight the diseases of the poor When colour of a nation is reasoning for war Men force your surrender, then ask you to believe With the lives of many millions embroidered of their sleeves Is this reason - a price to pay? Give us reason - A FIRST NEW DAY Acid emotion - child of suicide Bewilderment and hunger are hurting you inside While hopes find protection in the sanctuary of live Another voice is silenced in the quite of the night Is this reason - a price to pay? Give us reason - A FIRST NEW DAY All breathe together, suffocate the fear
Let each of us in comfort share the pain, the tears, the years Don't let their hate be the dowry of a youth Too humble for importance - Too honest for the truth Is this reason - a price to pay? Give us reason - A FIRST NEW DAY Give us reason - A FIRST NEW DAY KEYBOARDS : CLIVE MITTEN, ANDY REVELL RICK BATTERSBY, ANDY SEARS DRUMS : ... machine VOCALS : ANDY SEARS WRITTEN BY : ANDY, BRIAN, CLIVE, RICK AND ANDY ORIGINALLY RELEASED ON : 'ART AND ILLUSION' MFN.36 Oct 1984
