Lyrics
The World I Know
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.
Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on
I drink myself of newfound pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why
Are we listening
To hymns of offering?
Have we the eyes to see
Love is gathering?
All the words that I've been reading
Now started the act of bleeding
Into one
So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I know
Oh, it's the world I know
World I know...
