Lyrics
This Old World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This old world just stays the same
One man wants what the other man gained
One man's greedy one man's not
You can't worship money and god
Cain killed abel that was his brother
Sons of abraham still killing each other
C'mon children understand
Jesus washed all away the sins of man
Pray pray
Time to love every man woman and child
Just forgive and let live for a little while
Shake my head and wonder how much more
The bells are tolling on the streets of the world
What time is it help me understand
Why is war in the heart of man
Children of abraham hagar and sara
Sing a new song cheer the way for heaven
Jesus endless praise to thee
People better get down on you knees
Pray pray
Time to love every man woman and child
Just forgive and let live for a while
