Tell me why the grass was greener,
|
Years ago, I swear, it used to grow here,
|
But no more here.
|
|
Tell me why on this hill,
|
All the birds they used to come to fly here,
|
Come to die here.
|
|
Tell me why I need to know,
|
Sometimes I wish I didn't have to know
|
All you've shown me.
|
|
Hey world, what you say,
|
Should I stick around for another day or two?
|
Don't give up on me, I won't give up on you.
|
Just believe in me like I believe in you.
|
|
Tell me why, on the corner,
|
All the kids that used to come to run here,
|
Load their guns here.
|
|
And tell me why it's okay to kill in the name of the Gods we pray,
|
Tell me who said it's okay to die in the name of the lies we say,
|
Tell me why there's child soldiers,
|
Tell me why they close the borders,
|
Tell me how to fight disease, and
|
Tell me now, won't you please
|
|
The only thing I want to do
|
Is to be in the arms of someone who
|
Believes in me, like I believe in you
|
|
And I say
|
Hey world what you say,
|
Should I stick for around for another day
|
Hey world what you say,
|
Should I stick for around for another day
|
Hey world what you say,
|
Should I stick for around for another day or two?
|
|
Don't give up on me, I won't give up
|
And I try, try, try, try,
|
I try, try, try, try,
|
On you
|
Don't give up on me
|
And I cry, cry, cry, cry,
|
I cry, cry, cry, cry,
|
You
|
Just believe in me like I believe
|
|
Hey world, what you say
|
Hey world, what you say
|
Hey world, what you say
|
Should I stick around for another day
|
Hey world, what you say
|
Should I stick around for another day or two?
|
|
Don't give up on me, I won't give up on you
|
Just believe in me like I believe in you
|
|
Don't give up on me
|
|
Hey world, what you say
|
Hey world, what you say
|
Hey world, what you say
|
Hey world, what you say?
