Heaven's Children

Culture Club • From Luxury to Heartache (1986)

United (I get tired of speaking)

What if you're a lonely boy?
What if you're broken man?
What if you're just tired of speaking?

I live with my heartache, you bet that I do
I'm sad and I'm shaken, I'm empty and so blue
Magical function, I gave it all to you, to you yeah

They say they'll never let you down
United we stand so tall
They say they'll never let you down
United we fall

What if you're a lonely boy?
What if you're a broken man?
What if you're just tired of speaking, yeah?
What if you're alone at night?
What if we're all heaven's children?

I grew up in darkness, my enemies few
I gave you my life, it was easy for you
No explanation, this boy has grown up too

They say they'll never let you down
United we stand so tall
They say they'll never let you down
United we fall
What if you're a lonely boy?
What if you're a broken man?
What if you're just tired of speaking, yeah?
What if you're alone at night?
What if we're all heaven's children?

(United, united)

I believe the world should always be our standing ground
And I believe the world should hold us close
And spin this great big world around

(Don't be vulnerable)
Don't be scared at night
(Find love)
(Search for love)
Alone
(Always)

And spin this great big world around

What if you're a lonely boy?
What if you're a broken man?
What if you're just tired of speaking?
What if they break hearts for you?
(And I will never let go)
What if your intent is true?
(No matter how we control)
What if you're just tired of crying?
(I will never let go, no matter how we control)
Heaven's children

I was young, but still I knew
People were just frightened too
I would talk, they would not hear me

What if you're a lonely boy?
What if you're a broken man?
What if you're just tired of speaking?

I have been a lonely boy
I have been a broken man
I am here and still I'm crying
