A song about chaos and the many things that divide us: a lament, and also a plea for healing.
lyrics
Now the world is torn to pieces,
Suffering that nothing eases.
What to do with all the sorrow?
Will I be alive tomorrow?
Do you see? Can you hear?
Words make everything unclear.
Don’t know what I should do.
Can I even see it through?
Tell me, what do you want from me
In our newfound reality?
Every day, a new tragedy.
Stunned and lost in anxiety.
Don’t go in.
Don’t go out.
Stay away.
Please don’t shout.
What a world, what a world,
What a world, what a world.
What a world that we’re living in.
When does sanity begin?
Patience gradually wearing thin.
Graciousness can be found within.
Now the world is torn to pieces,
Bitterness that nothing eases.
Look around and see the burning.
Listen well, you’ll hear the hurting.
Do you see? Can you hear?
Words make everything unclear.
Don’t know what I should do.
Can I even see it through?
Don’t go in.
Don’t go out.
Stay away.
Please don’t shout.
What a world, what a world,
What a world, what a world.
Tell me, what do you want from me
In our newfound reality?
Every day, a new tragedy.
Stunned and lost in anxiety.
What a world that we’re living in.
When does sanity begin?
Patience gradually wearing thin.
Tolerance can be found within.
Now the world is torn to pieces,
Loneliness that nothing eases.
Can we put away all the sadness?
Are we ready to stop the madness?
Now the world is torn to pieces,
Misery comes as it pleases.
Listen well, you’ll hear the crying.
In this world, there’s too much dying.
Do you see? Can you hear?
Words make everything unclear.
Don’t know what I should do.
Can I even see it through?
Don’t go in,
Don’t go out.
Stay away.
Please don’t shout.
What a world, what a world,
What a world, what a world.
Tell me, what do you want from me
In our newfound reality?
Every day, a new tragedy.
Stunned and lost in anxiety.
What a world that we’re living in.
When does sanity begin?
Patience gradually wearing thin.
Decency can be found within.
