Toto was formed in Los Angeles in 1977 by David Paich, Steve Lukather, the son of hollywood Assistant Director Bill Lukather, Bobby Kimball, brothers Steve and Jeff Porcaro, and David Hungate, the son of former United States Congressman and United States District Court Judge William L. Hungate. The bandmembers had met in high school and at studio sessions in the 1970s, when they became some of the busiest session musicians in the music business. Composed entirely of seasoned studio musicians, Toto seemed to come out of nowhere. They did not get known first on the club circuit as nearly all bands do prior to being signed by a label.

Can You Hear What I’m Say Lyrics

Toto

The world is precious, a gift to you and me
I suggest we treat her right, with love and dignity
Everybodys looking for some peace of mind
If you seek the truth then you will surely find
Everybody wants to have global peace
While the press of a button can shake the world to its knees
Chorus:
Can you hear what Im saying, can you hear what Im saying
There are those who say might is right, I beg to disagree
I say we all unite and redirect our destiny
Everybodys looking for a quick solution
Our lungs are chocking from beathing air polution
I say put down your guns and stop the revolution
I say its time we make a restitution, yes
Chorus - can you hear me now
Chorus repeats 2x
Can you hear me now, I am calling out to you
(can you hear me calling out to you, can you hear me calling out to you)
Theres so much starvation, so much say untruth
So much prejudice, theres so much liquidation - oh how long, how long
Can you hear what Im saying
Africa, america, eurasia, latin africa
