(intro) I woke up today, I was crying, Lost in a lost world, Cos' so many people are dying, Lost in a lost world. Some of them are living an illusion, Bounded by the darkness of their minds, In their eyes, it's nation against nation against nation, With racial pride, sad hearts they hide Thinking only of themselves, they shun The light. They think they're right Living in their empty shells. Oh... can you see their world is crashing (...so many people...) Crashing down around their feet And angry people in the street, Are telling them they've had their fill Of politics that wound and kill Grow, the seeds of evolution Revolution never won It's just another form of gun To do again what they have done With all our brothers' youngest sons. (solo) (3x) Everywhere you go you'll see them searching Everywhere you turn you'll feel the pain Everyone is looking for the answer We'll look again, come on my friend Love will find them in the end Come on my friend we've got to bend On our knees and say a prayer. Oh can you feel the world is pining Pining for someone who really cares, Enough to share his love, With all of us. So we can be An ever loving family. Ahh Have you forgotten we're all children Children from a family tree That's longer than a centipede And started long ago when you And I were only love- (outro) I woke up today, I was crying, Lost in a lost world, Cos' so many people are dying, Lost in a lost world
