Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I woke up to the sound
The ocean waves crashin' down
What a world
What a world
[Verse 2]
It's hard to take what I can't turn away
So many feelings just like yesterday
What a world
What a world
[Verse 3]
I'm not alone, this I know
So many people lookin' coo-coo-coo-coo-cool
What a world
What a world
[Verse 4]
I'm so tired of searchin'
Why don't I turn out the light
Be left in the dark to find it
What is wrong, what is right
[Verse 5]
Don't know what's worse, failure or success
Survival's killed me, it soon put me to wrest
What a world
What a world
[Verse 6]
I will not act like I don't understand
How 'bout a man could kill another man
What a world
What a world
[Verse 7]
If you hold your own heart in your hands
How would you hold it?
[Verse 8]
So sick and tired of achin'
For a taste of the cake
The high just leaves me vacant
What a mind is to waist
[Verse 9]
I've done my part of makin' misery
And, and I own it, it's all part of me
What a world
What a world
[Verse 10]
Big answers come when I forget to ask
Riddle to riddle will just take me to task
What a world
What a world
[Verse 11]
What if my field is just a dream
Won't that make me feel there's no more in between
What a world
What a world
[Verse 12]
I been on the bus with trouble
Looking good chasing the bait
Now it's my heart that's dying
All of fate under weight
[Verse 13]
I woke up to the sound
The ocean waves crashin' down
What a world
What a world
