Well, the world's no perfect place
We're only doing what we can do
When the night comes over me
Open my eyes up to a brighter sky
And the light shines above every nation
But at times we do forget about them
Like my brother who is falling down
But at times we do forget about him

The truth is an empty word
Spoken in vain, yeah, like we all do
Blind hate the modern way
But every life has a beautiful name

And the light shines above every nation
But at times we do forget about them
Like my brother who is falling down
But at times we do forget about him

No regrets can save us
And only our hearts have any answer
Oh, it's you

And the lights shines above every nation
But at times we do forget about them
Like my brother who is falling down
But at times we do forget about him

Time to break out now
Out of the prison of our own mind
There's a rhyme where there's a reason
Everyone's dreaming of the same dream, oh, dream on
Forget about it, oh, forget about it

Steven Lawrence Winwood is most famous for his solo work, including two number one hits Higher Love and Roll with It, and for being the member of two supergroups, Traffic and Blind Faith, along with helping found the Spencer Davis Group at fourteen years old.

Speaking of which, Mozart had nothing on Winwood as a keyboard

As a boy in middle school, little Stevie Winwood played the Hammond synth for Blues gods and Rock & Roll founders like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley, when they toured in Britain. We’d list more, but it’s exhausting to link all of those names.
