It seems like this old world's beyond repair But tell me does it have to be
There are those who say we haven't got a prayer Nor have we the strength to bear
For there are some things I'll never understand Could someone explain to me
Before we learn we're going nowhere Not unless we learn to share
Is that a tear in the eye of the storm A hint of fear in the relative calm It appears all attempts to feel so safe and warm
And beheld a world of possibility Though now all there seems to be
Still there's a song that I sing in my heart There's a light that I see in the dark And a voice that has softly whispered to my soul
It seems like this old world's beyond repair Oh tell me does it have to be
