Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is the world that we live in
I feel myself get tired
This is the world that we live in
[Verse 2]
Well, maybe I was mistaken
I heard a rumor that you quit this day and age
Well, maybe I was mistaken
[Verse 3]
Bless your body, bless your soul
Pray for peace and self-control
[Verse 4]
I gotta believe it's worth it
Without a victory, I'm so sanctified and free (Gotta believe)
Well, maybe I'm just mistaken
[Verse 5]
A lesson learned and the wheels keep turning
[Verse 6]
This is the world that we live in
I can't take blame for two
This is the world that we live in
And maybe we'll make it through, ah
[Verse 7]
Bless your body, bless your soul
Reel me in and cut my throat
Underneath the waterfall
Baby, we're still in this, oh yeah!
[Verse 8]
This is the world that we live in
I feel myself get tired
This is the world that we live in
[Verse 9]
I had a dream that I was falling down
There's no next time around
A storm wastes its water on me
But my life was free
[Verse 10]
I guess it's the world that we live in
It's not too late for that
This is the world that we live in
And no, we can't go back
This is the world that we live in
I still want something real
This is the world that we live in
I know that we can heal over time
[Verse 11]
This is the world that we live in
[Verse 12]
This is the world that we live in
