Oil For The Lamps Of China Lyrics - Singles - The Listening Pool

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
