To Be Treated Lyrics - Terry Reid

Oh we are what we are when in danger 

And we are as we stand head in hand 

When a friend brings to light 

On a cold silver knife 

You can stare your fate right into his hand 

-into his hand 

Oh we are what we are when we're made to 

Be the soul-owning guardians of land 

And there's always advice 

On a cold winter's night 

That your dreams are just an island in the sands 

Way out in the sand 

Don't it seem so strange 

How it just don't change, yeah 

Things just stay the same 

As they've always been 

Some of us are out to win 

And some of us are out just to wane 

Just out to maim 

Oh we are what we are when we're praying 

In our own way of seeking some light 

May the mission bell still ring 

Of the colourful dreams 

In the faith that everyone will be treated right
