Lost In A Lost World

I woke up today

I was crying

Lost in a lost world

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?

Crashing down around their feet

Angry people in the street

Telling them they've had their fill

Of politics that wound and kill

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

Everywhere you go you see them searching

Everywhere you turn you feel the pain

Everyone is looking for the answer

Well look again, come on my friend

Love will find us in the end

Come on my friend

We've got to bend

Down on our knees and say a prayer

Oh, can you see 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

Have we forgotten we're all children?

Children from a family tree

That's longer than a centipede

Started long ago when you and I

Were only love

I woke today, I was crying

Lost in a lost world

So many people are dying

Lost in a lost world

So many people, so many people

Lost in a lost world

So many people, so many people

Lost in a lost world
