The whole world around me is burning And our tears have reached the sky Wild pirates rule the ocean But your music keeps me right. The whole world around me is crumbling Every river has run dry Black eyed darkness tries to haunt me But your rhythm keeps me right. So please play your music, play it nice and strong Oh your sweet music, the world has waited way too long Please play your music, play it night and day Oh your sweet music play it right away. The whole world is no longer burning Sweet children's voices slow the flames They're the future and they are shaking To your rhythms refrain. Please play your music that you promised me Oh your sweet music of our destiny Please play your music set your people free Oh your sweet music play it finally.
