Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
Founded by the darkness of their minds
In their eyes it's nation against nation against nation
With racial pride
Sounds Sin City high
Thinkin' 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, they live in their empty shells)
[Verse 2]
Oh, can you see their world is crashing?
(Ooh, so many people, so many people)
Crashing down around their feet (Ooh)
Angry people in the street
Telling them they've had their fill
(So many people, so many people)
Of politics, people who kill
[Verse 3]
Grow the seeds of evolution
(So many people, so many people)
Revolution never won (Ooh)
It's just another form of gun
To do again what they have done
(So many people, so many people)
Let all our brothers come get some
(So many people, so many people)
(So many people)
[Verse 4]
Everywhere you go, you see them searching
Everywhere you turn you feel the pain
Everyone is looking for the answers
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
[Verse 5]
Oh, can you hear the world is pining?
(Ooh, so many people, so many people)
Pining for someone who really cares (Ooh)
Enough to share his love
With all of us so we can be an ever loving family
(So many people, so many people)
Have we forgotten who loves who?
(Ooh, so many people, so many people)
Children from a family tree that's longer than a centipede (Ooh)
Started long ago when you and I were only love
(So many people, so many people)
(So many people, so many people)
(So many people)
[Verse 6]
I woke up today, I was crying
Lost in a lost world
So many people are dying
Lost in a lost world
[Verse 7]
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
