The World You Want
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 picking up the pieces
I’m trying out adhesives
I’m trying to fix a place that feels broken
All my words they fail me
My voices don’t avail me
I’m trying to say the hope that’s unspoken
Is this the world you want?
Is this the world you want?
You’re making it
Everyday you’re alive
Is this the world you want?
Is this the world you want?
You’re making it
The world feels so malicious
With all our hits and misses
Feels like we’re in the business of rust
It’s when I stop to listen
All the moments I’ve been missing
I finally hear a voice I can trust
Is this the world you want?
Is this the world you want?
You’re making it
Everyday you’re alive
Is this the world you want?
Is this the world you want?
You’re making it
Everyday you’re alive
You change the world
You change the world
You change the world
Everyday you’re alive
You change the world
Honey, you change the world
You change my world
You start to look like what you believe
We float through time like a stream
But the waters of time
Are made up by you and I
If you change the world for you, you change it for me
What you say is your religion
How you say it’s your religion
Who you love is your religion
How you love is your religion
All your science, your religion
All your hatred, your religion
All your wars are your religion
Every breath is your religion
Is this the world you want?
Is this the world you want?
You’re making it
Everyday you’re alive
Is this the world you want?
Is this the world you want?
You’re making it
Everyday you’re alive
You change the world
You change the world
You change my world
Everyday you’re alive
You change my world
Honey, you change my world
You change my world
Your religion
