I'm just a wandering on the face of this earth
so meeting so many people
who are trying to be free
and while I'm traveling I hear so many words
Language barriers broken
now we've found the key
and if you want the wind of change
to blow about you
and you're the only other person to know, don't tell me
I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band.
A thousand pictures can be drawn from one word
only who is the artist
we got to agree
a thousand miles can lead so many ways
Just to know who is driving
what a help it would be
so if you want this world of yours
to turn about you
and you can see exactly what to do
please tell me
I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band.
How can we understand
riots by the people for the people
who are only destroying themselves
and when you see a frightened
person who is frightened by thepPeople who are scorching this earth.
I'm just a wandering on the face of this earth
meeting so many people
who are trying to be free
and while I'm traveling I hear so many words
Language barriers broken
now we've found the key
and if you want the wind of change
To blow about you
aand you're the only other person to know, don't tell me
I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band.
How can we understand
riots by the people for the people
who are only destroying themselves
and when you see a frightened
person who is frightened by the
people who are scorching this earth.
Music is the traveller crossing our world
meeting so many people bridging the seas
I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band.
we're just the singers in a rock and roll band.
I'm just a singer in a rock and roll band...

[@robertferry623]

Where is the keyboard player?

[@CheapMobileGeek]

Mike Pinder had long retired.
This was a mime performance.

[@CheapMobileGeek]

[@hempelchamp]

The Electric Guitars Ain’t Plugged In! Lol!!

[@whackinesstomfooleryinc.7854]

@@CheapMobileGeek This was recorded during the "Other Side of Life" era, so Patrick Moraz would have been the keyboard player at the time. Not sure why he's not with them here. He's in all their other 80s era TV appearances that I've seen.
