    Lyrics:
    We have the chance to turn the pages over
    We can write what we want to write
    We gotta make ends meet, before we get much older
    We're all someone's daughter
    We're all someone's son
    How long can we look at each other
    Down the barrel of a gun?
    You're the voice, try and understand it
    Make a noise and make it clear
    Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo
    We're not gonna sit in silence
    We're not gonna live with fear
    Oh-wo-wo-wo, oh-wo-wo-wo

    • @user-iq3mp5zo8z
      @user-iq3mp5zo8z 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +21

      Well, guess it's genetics (mum was 95 when she passed. And she smoked until into her 70s, and was still enjoying wine to the end). Don't think "old", don't carry with you negativity from your earlier life experiences, learn to not let the past dictate your emotions now, that's destructive and you're worth far more than that, so believe in yourself. Never allow negative people/feelings into your life, and if they do creep in then watch It's a Long Way to the Top... Store in your mind not only the sheer energy from that song but also the love between John and his fans, and remember it. No one has a perfect life but we can choose to make rhe best of it.

      And - I cry when I see and hear perfection - ice skater years ago, Donald Jackson? Canadian? , a friend who is a concert pianist - more than perfection, he plays with heart and soul and you can hear that emotion in his playing . And John Farnham? . The total package. 'nuff said?

    This is one of the most beautiful song and challenging lyrics of the 80's. It should be aired on all radios and become every country's national anthem! A shame our world hasn't learnt the lesson much ever since! The Christian band For King and Country has just released a great cover of this song on their album Unsung Hero. You should all listen to it. A great rendition. Can't stop listening to it.

I grew up when normal people stopped outside the grocery store to talk 20 mins asking normal questions. Now people are afraid, manipulated from internet, goverments, psychos playing on other people getting afraid. People sitting home analyzing things. Today I saw a guy in our truck, he was watching 400 clips in 20min on the way to the customer. Hes neck was like the letter L and His brain had transformed into a maximum of 3 seconds memory thinking the rest is deleted from internet.

    I have not heard this song since it was out on mainstream radio! I am so thankful that my good friend stumbled upon it while watching the German version of The Voice via TH-cam.
    John's voice is so electrifying, much like Lou Gramm. ❤ This song takes me back instantly.

    One of THE greatest "message" songs of all time. I was seventeen the first time I heard it and it still has that power to make me wonder why the whole world hasn't listened to it and acted on the message twenty seven years later.
    A truly iconic rock song that should be heard by every living soul and taken on board. Classic is simply too mild a world to describe what this song is. It's past that, it towers over most of the music of the eighties and since as if the others are ants scurrying around in the shadow of a mountain.

      It seems to be whenever you were young and alive and unencumbered by career or mortgages or children etc and everything was an adventure or party - that's when you thought YOUR music was the best, most meaningful, pressed all of your emotional buttons.
