What a world Lyrics

Whatever happened to the trees which were so green?

Whatever happened?

And skies so blue

What's going on?

No roses bloom for you and me

What's going on?

And cloudy skies are all we see

What a world, where life can be so cheap

What a world, where sorrow is so deep

What a world, what a world, what a world

This is a struggling world we live in in a time of great confusion

A time when we reach for the stars but forget our common ground

That sacred common ground we tread where we return to in the end

Something precious has been lost will it ever be found?

This might be a world of wonder, a world of great delight

But so often we lose sight of what's important

Play power games about the wrongs and rights

And fight about those things that we all need that we should really share

The soil we till, the water that we drink and the air

This earth is big enough

We're still fighting and killing and pray to gods willing

To sanction the slaughter of others

Till the teetering tables are suddenly turned

And the victims our sisters and brothers

This shouldn't be happening to us we all say

Our lives weren't meant to turn out this sad way

All of the times that we tried not to see

Till we tasted the horrors of history

What a world, where time can be so short

What a world, all the ways that we get caught

What a world, what a world, what a world

What a world, so out of balance we have grown

What a world, with our one and only home

What a world, what a world, what a world
