Oil for the Lamps of China Lyrics

So where's the place you call home? Somewhere to call your own You need some time to be alone
Somewhere to light up your life And maybe you'll hold on tight But now I hope it turns out right
You'd better stop sitting back And open up your eyes When are you gonna stop and realize This is your prize
And now you're lying down In an old forgotten town Keep on hoping Keeping hope alive
Oil for the lamps of China
You've gotta believe in your pride Shining from far and wide Don't you think it's justified?
Somewhere to take by surprise Under the moonlit skies Now I hope it turns out right
But you'd better stop looking back And open up your mind Who are you gonna try and hope to find One of your kind?
So here's the black and white When you're running out of time Keep on hoping Keeping hope alive
Oil for the lamps of China
