Gotta get a message to the starg in our pockets for a rainy day
But here we are, in trouble like we always are
Just praying for a miracle
Reaching for the stars
We love you
Would die for you
We need you everyday
We've gotta get a message
We love you
Would die for you
We need you everyday
Oh, we love you
Wouldn't leave you
We miss you faraway
It's just another promise
Like we've heard before
Never really knowing what we're fighting for
We love you
Would die for you
We need you everyday
Oh, we love you
Wouldn't leave you
We miss you faraway
We love you
Would die for you
We need you everyday
Oh, we love you
Wouldn't leave you
We miss you faraway
We love you
Would die for you
We need you everyday
Oh, we love you
Wouldn't leave you
We miss you faraway
But here we are, in trouble like we always are
Just praying for a miracle
Reaching for the stars
We love you
Would die for you
We need you everyday
We've gotta get a message
We love you
Would die for you
We need you everyday
Oh, we love you
Wouldn't leave you
We miss you faraway
It's just another promise
Like we've heard before
Never really knowing what we're fighting for
We love you
Would die for you
We need you everyday
Oh, we love you
Wouldn't leave you
We miss you faraway
We love you
Would die for you
We need you everyday
Oh, we love you
Wouldn't leave you
We miss you faraway
We love you
Would die for you
We need you everyday
Oh, we love you
Wouldn't leave you
We miss you faraway

The track is sung from the perspective of a citizen living under a totalitarian system, who has grown fearful about his family's future while still feigning adoration for his dictator leader. The "We love you" refrain was also designed to be interpreted as an expression of gratitude to the OMD listener base; the group's fanclub was invited to appear in the single's accompanying music video.[1] The song was sampled in the early 1990s for BBC Wales's Scrum V programme.
