Lost In A Lost World

I woke up today, I was crying,
Lost in a lost world,
‘Cos 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,
With racial pride, sad hearts they hide,
Thinking only of themselves,
They shun the light,
They think they’re right
Living in the empty shells.

Oh, can you see their world is crashing?
Crashing down around their feet
And angry people in the street
Are telling them they’ve had their fill
Of politics that wound and kill.
Grow, the seeds of evolution.
Revolution never won,
It’s just another form of gun
To do again what they have done
With all our brothers’ youngest sons.

Everywhere you go you’ll feel them searching,
Everywhere you turn you’ll feel the pain,
Everyone is looking for the answer,
We’ll 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?
Pining for someone who really cares
Enough to share his love
With all of us, so we can be
An ever-loving family.
Have you forgotten we’re all children?
Children from a family tree
That’s longer than a centipede
And started long ago
When you and I were only love.

I woke up today, I was crying,
Lost in a lost world,
‘Cos so many people are dying,
Lost in a lost world.
