The World Today
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.
I'm feeling sorry for the world today
They're making food the corporation way
Use the grain to fatten up the beef
They're starving children in the Third World streets
The sun won't shine and the rain won't rain
Can't grow the gruels if we break the chain
We're gonna have to fix this bitter cup
North wind's a blowing and the sand storm's up
Rising prices, energy crisis
We never get to make headway
Politicians, contradictions
Always seem to lead us astray
So lift yourself up to your inner star
Your love's news no matter who you are
There's a choice, we have to choose
We hear a voice, do you hear the news
People shining, Dark Age declining
Now the truth can set us free
Inner visions, not superstitions
Will bring peace and harmony
Can you see
To have love we have to give away
To have life we have to live each day
Turn a page and walk out of the dark
Into the light, see a new age start
Children shining, Dark Age declining
Now the truth can set us free
Inner visions, not superstitions
Will bring peace and harmony
Can you see
I'm feeling happy for the Earth today
She's gonna make it in her own way
A solar system full of love and grace
Her evolution to a shining place
Shining place
Human race
Shining
Shining
