"MESSAGE TO THE WORLD" |
||||
I sat alone upon a rocky shore to think it through I turned my eyes out to the sea The sun reflected on the waters running blue I saw the world belonged to me |
||||
Chorus: Do what you want to do Say what you want to say Be what you want to be Live for today today Do what you want to do Say what you want to say Be what you want to be Live for today today |
||||
I learned a friend had gone, he chose to die alone No time to say goodbye he's lost to those who hesitate How come we learn to love too late and then the bird has flown We've got to open up our hearts and minds communicate |
||||
Repeat Chorus | ||||
I sat alone upon a rocky shore to think it through I turned my eyes out to the sea The sun reflected on the waters running blue I saw the world belonged to me |
||||
Repeat Chorus twice | ||||

Nick Ray was a friend of the band, who decided to end his life. His death was a shock for his family and friends. The song is more than just a tribute, it asking people to open up and not bottle their problems inside. There is always someone who will listen.
