Don't Let Is Pass You By
UB 40 · Present Arms [1981]
There's no-one coming with that freedom train.
There's nowhere you can go where you feel no pain.
Take the blinkers off you eye's,
The power's in your hand;
Stop waiting for your ticket to the promised land.
There ain't no heaven and there ain't no hell.
Except the one we're in, and you know to well
There's no-one waiting on,
Waiting on a higher high;
Don't let the only world you're ever gonna live in
Pass you by.
There's nowhere you can go where you feel no pain.
Take the blinkers off you eye's,
The power's in your hand;
Stop waiting for your ticket to the promised land.
There ain't no heaven and there ain't no hell.
Except the one we're in, and you know to well
There's no-one waiting on,
Waiting on a higher high;
Don't let the only world you're ever gonna live in
Pass you by.
