[Verse 1]
I see the pestilence outside my window
I see the dung heaps piled at least a mile high
I see the shards of shattered dreams in the street
I face the morning with my customary sigh
Woah, woah-oh

[Verse 2]
I hear the sounds of children laughing aloud
A stumbling wino has attracted quite a crowd
My breakfast finished, now I brave the outside
But all the clouds have hidden all the warmth inside

[Chorus]
Chase these clouds away
I hate this sunless Saturday
Chase these clouds away
I hate this sunless Saturday

[Bridge]
Freedom come (Freedom come)
For us now (For us now)
Light our sky (Light our sky)
Burn away these clouds

[Verse 3]
Perhaps the charcoal grey and brown around me
Is just the mirror image of my tainted soul
I think the sun will never visit my sky
Until the truth is seen by each and every eye
Woah, woah-oh
[Chorus]
Chase these clouds away
I hate this sunless Saturday

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Freedom come (Freedom come)
For us now (For us now)
Light our sky (Light our sky)
Burn away these clouds

[Verse 4]
I see the helpless and I see the insane
I see a pauper singing in the pouring rain
I see the means of help elude us again
I think the sun will never visit me again
Woah, woah-oh

[Chorus]
Chase these clouds away
I hate this sunless Saturday
