I woke up today, I was crying
Lost in a lost world
'Cause 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 (Some of them shun the light)
They think they're right (Some of them think they're right)
Living in their empty shells (Some live in their empty shells)
Oh, can you see their world is crashing? (So many people)
Crashing down around their feet, angry people in the street
Telling them they've had their fill (So many people)
Of politics that wound and kill (So many people)
Grow the seeds of evolution (So many people)
Revolution never won, it's just another form of gun
To do again what they have done (So many people)
With all our brothers' youngest sons (So many people)
Everywhere you go you'll see them searching
Everywhere you turn you'll feel the pain
Everyone is looking for the answer
Well, look again, come on, my friend
Love will find them in the end
Come on, my friend, we've got to bend
On our knees and say a prayer
Oh, can you feel the world is pining? (So many people)
Pining for someone who really cares enough to share his love
With all of us, so we can be an ever loving family (So many people)
Have we forgotten we're all children? (So many people)
Children from a family tree that's longer than a centipede
Started long ago when you and I were only love (So many people)
I woke up today, I was crying
Lost in a lost world
'Cause so many people are dying
Lost in a lost world
(So many people, so many people)
(People) Lost in a lost world
(So many people, so many people)
(People) Lost in a lost world
(So many people, so many people)
(People) Lost in a lost world
