When I needed a neighbour - Vocal
When I needed a neighbour were you there, were you there?
When I needed a neighbour were you there?
And the creed and the colour and the name won’t matter,
Were you there?
I was hungry and thirsty, were you there, were you there?
I was hungry and thirsty, were you there?
And the creed and the colour and the name won’t matter,
Were you there?
I was cold, I was naked, were you there, were you there?
I was cold, I was naked, were you there?
And the creed and the colour and the name won’t matter,
Were you there?
When I needed a shelter were you there, were you there?
When I needed a shelter were you there?
And the creed and the colour and the name won’t matter,
Were you there?
When I needed a healer were you there, were you there?
When I needed a healer were you there?
And the creed and the colour and the name won’t matter,
Were you there?
Wherever you travel, I’ll be there, I’ll be there,
Wherever you travel, I’ll be there.
And the creed and the colour and the name won’t matter,
I’ll be there.
And the creed and the colour and the name won’t matter,
I’ll be there.

When I needed a neighbour
When I needed a neighbour were you there, were you there?

Wherever you travel, I’ll be there.
And the creed and the colour and the name won’t matter,
I’ll be there.
And the creed and the colour and the name won’t matter,
I’ll be there.
