Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tell me why this world is a mess
I thought you always tried your best
Tell me, what am I to do?
Maybe you should do it too
Tell me why they're sleepin' alone
No house, nowhere to call a home
Tell me what I'm meant to see
Won't you stop preachin' at me?
[Verse 2]
And I only wanna see what it's all about
And I only wanna live, wanna give something back
Don't tell me that it's over, it's only just begun
Don't tell me that it's over, now that this song is sung
The song is sung
[Verse 3]
All the money in the world would never sett all the wrongs to right
All the fire in the world would never set my heart alight
I dream of a day when it's all gone away and the sun is shinin' bright
I dream of a day when it's all gone away but dreams are for night
[Verse 4]
And I only wanna see what it's all about
And I only wanna live, wanna give something back
Don't tell me that it's over, it's only just begun
Don't tell me that it's over, now that this song is sung
The song is sung
[Verse 5]
Don't tell me that it's over, please, I'm on my knees
I'm beggin' you to to stop
It's over, please, I'm on my knees
I'm beggin' you to to stop
[Verse 6]
And I only wanna see what it's all about
And I only wanna live, wanna give something back
Don't tell me that it's over, it's only just begun
Don't tell me that it's over, now that this song is sung
The song is sung
