The Impossible World

The Impossible World

Lord if you will

Lend me your ear

It seems like this old world's beyond repair

But tell me does it have to be

Can we summon the will

Come up with the faith

There are those who say we haven't got a prayer

Nor have we the strength to bear

This impossible world

Death if you will

Give me your hand

For there are some things I'll never understand

Could someone explain to me

How many lives

How many tears must fall

Before we learn we're going nowhere

Not unless we learn to share

This impossible world

Is that a tear in the eye of the storm

A hint of fear in the relative calm

It appears all attempts to feel so safe and warm

Are all in vain

When I was a child

I opened my eyes

And beheld a world of possibility

Though now all there seems to be

Is an impossible world

Still there's a song that I sing in my heart

There's a light that I see in the dark

And a voice that has softly whispered to my soul

Do not be afraid

Lord If you will

Lend me your ear

It seems like this old world's beyond repair

Oh tell me does it have to be

Such an impossible world
