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,

(somehow they shun the light)

They think they're right,

(somehow they think they're right)

Living in their empty shells.

Oh, can you see their world is crashing

(so many people, so many people)

Crashing down around their feet

And angry people in the street,

Are 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, so many people)

Revolution never won

It's just another form of gun

To do again what they have done

(so many people, so many people)

With all our brothers, youngest sons.

(so many people, 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, so many people)

Pining for someone who really cares

Enough to share his love,

With all of us so we can be

(so many people)

An ever loving family.

(so many people)

Oh, have you forgotten we're all children

(so many people, so many people)

Children from a family tree

That's longer than a centipede

And started long ago when you and I

(so many people, so many people)

Were only love--

(so many people, so many people)

I woke up 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, people

Lost in a lost world

So many people, so many people, people

Lost in a lost world
