The world is burning down Can't you smell the smoke in the air? War, disease, and famine This demon, she is everywhere Poets and preachers and politicians They've all had their say And we got 10,000 years Devoted to nothing But tomorrow and yesterday If all of the ignorance in the world Passes a second ago What would you say? Who would you obey? I am here to say that Peace is now Mr. President I hereby pardon you of all your crimes For they are just as much mine Selfishness and separation have led me To believe that the world is not my problem The world is not my problem I am the world And you are the world If all of the ignorance in the world Passes a second ago What would you say?

So many people
I know only a few Yes I may say that I love this man And that man But what keeps me from loving you? Date of birth, geography The color of my skin, ideology You got ten fingers, two legs, on nose Like me Just like me And it's as simple as that You see And if I don't know who to Love I love them all And if I don't know who to trust I trust them all And if I don't know who to kill I may kill myself instead From the mouth of a baby Will come the world saving words That will save us all And from the lungs of a child Will come the everlasting breath of God Increasing peace and honesty And not carrying on Despite of me Don't you know This ain't about no race, no creed No race, no creed And it's as simple as that You see And if I don't know who to love I love them all And if I don't know who to trust I trust them all And if I don't know who to kill No suicide I'm already dead |

He said, he said, he said
"There was nothing to fear boy" And he said, he said, he said, "Worthless are you tears boy" "Just realize you senses And realize you earth Just realize your essence first" I'll never be the same again I want to walk in the sun I am alive and well again No more bittersweet No more good pain No more So many of us stand in the middle Looking back to the worst Looking forward to the fall Making weapons of peace for the defense Of the bloodstains on our Peaceful sidewalks You say the buildings got too tall And they're going to fry your brother Well I say you'd better walk away, walk Away, away, away And find your mother No more bittersweet No more good paid If I can't sing this song And tell you all about it Then I'll just pack it up right now and walk away Don't even doubt it So when our sherry glass is full And the day is way too young You'd better sip today, sip today, sip today, Before it's done No more bittersweet No more good pain |

I know that I should think about giving
And think about Helping out And think about Think about living But I can't seem to rescue myself What about my bank account And my holy desert shield That keep me dry under the arms? Flags and mental jewelry's all I know And they keep my happy and warm inside So I said unto this man "Who are you and where do you come from?" And he proceeded to tell me many things But I said nothing at all For the flowers in the corner, by the room, In the window, and the sun Said it all At least they said they would Said they could Mama said they would Do me good |

Yet I have often paid the price And you You are a victim of this age And the guilt that hangs around your neck Has got me locked up in the cage Ypu've to To learn to live until no end But first you must learn to swim All over again Because...... *Pain lies on the riverside And pain will never say good-bye Pain lies on the riverside So put you feet in the water Put you head in the water Put you soul in the water And join me for a swim tonight I have forever Always tried To stay clean and constantly baptized I am aware that the river's bank are dry And to wait for a flood is to wait for life I've got to learn to live until no end But first i must learn to swim All over again Because.....

If I told you she was your mother
We could analyze the situation and be gone If I said you ought to give her Some of your water Your eyes would light up like the dawn The perception that divides you from her Is a lie For some reason we never asked why This is not a black and white world You can't afford to believe in your side This is not a black and white world To be alive I say the colors must swirl And I believe That maybe today We will all get to appreciate The beauty of gray Look into your eyes No daylight New day now |

And what do you say to the man Who treats him like a father? "Come and see my heart. Come inside And learn"? Come and see my soul, it's like yours, I say it's just like yours"?
