THE WORLD I KNOW

 

Where is human kindness

Has life become too fast

Viciousness around us

We take as it comes

 

          It’s much deeper than the dark

          It’s much deeper than the low

          Shall we silently align

          Shall we let the river run

          It happened before

          In the world I know

 

Once we were delighted

Now we’re facing the disbelief

The real changes were expected

Only in dreams

 

          No one said it could be false

          No one said it could be worse

          There are some facts you need to know

          And one life you can’t let go

          It happened once more

          In the world I know

 

While we bear the great injustice

While we watch the big mischief

We try to keep our mouth shut

We try not to bleed

 

          No one said it could be false

          No one said it could be worse

          There are some facts you need to know

          And one life you can’t let go

          It happened once more

          In the world I know,

                    It’s much deeper than the dark

                    It’s much deeper than the low

                    Shall we turn ourselves in

                    Shall we let the evil win

                    It happened once more

                    In the world I know.
