Bee Gees

Songwriter: Robin Gibb Barry Gibb

Producer: Arif Mardin

In the streets of New York City
Every man can feel the cold
And I don't want no pity
But I want my story told

And the lights shine down on me
They shine on the little boy
Is this way to make him pay
Being born in a world of joy?

But like me, he don't know where he'll go wrong
He won't cry so many tears
Till he finds out why he don't belong

Like me, there's no room for us out there
You can lose your hope and pride
When it comes to broken dreams
You'll get your share

Sometimes a man breaks down
And the good things he is looking for
Are crushed into the ground

Get on up, look around
Can't you feel the wind of change?
Get on up, taste the air
Can't you see the wind of change?

Don't you understand what I'm saying?
We need a god down here
A man to lead us children
Take us from the valley of fear

Make the lights shine down on us
Show us the road to go
Help us survive, make us arrive
Teach us what we need to know

Like me, he don't know where he'll go wrong
He won't cry so many tears
Till he finds out why he don't belong

Like me, there's no room for us out there
You can lose your hope and pride
When it comes to broken dreams
You'll get your share

Sometimes a man breaks down, down, down down, down
And the good things he is searching for
Are crushed into the ground

Get on up, look around
Can't you feel the wind of change?
Get on up, taste the air
Can't you see the wind of change?
Get on up, look around
Can't you feel the wind of change?
Get on up, taste the air
Can't you see the wind of change?
Get on up, look around
Can't you feel the wind of change?
Get on up, taste the air
Can't you see the wind of change?

The three Gibb brothers were very close as children and spent most of their time together. Barry was born in 1946, and his twin brothers Maurice and Robin were born in 1949. Together, they went on to become one of the most popular bands of the 1970s.

The Bee Gees have sold more than 220 million records worldwide, and functioned as a group almost continuously from 1958 to 2003, when Maurice Gibb suddenly died during a coma.
