Lyrics
Hey World!
I want to understand truth, too much for a man?
Who has everything but endlessly wants more to buy
Who makes fun of what he doesn't know and doesn't try.
Hey World!
Hey World!
Hey World!
Give me something more like love & peace, not hate & war
You can really be a painful and lonely place
For all who dare to be part of the human race.
Hey World!
Hey World!
Answers are so close, but you see them slip away
There is hope, you can't betray
You wonder why, but somehow you know
Your heart will show you the way, today
Love!
Hey World!
It's me again, why? Tell me! I'm making a stand
Tired of memories of too much good has died
Injustice turning freedom into a precious lie
Hey World!
Hey World!
Hey World!
Not much more to say.Hey World! How did you get that way?
Deep inside I feel beauty that's you somehow
By every breath of love
That starts here, there and now
Hey World!
Hey World!
Answers are so close, but you see them slip away
There is hope, you can't betray
You wonder why, but somehow you know
Your heart will show you the way, today
Love!
Are you down to where we need to be? Dig it!
Are you ready for love to set you free? Sing it!
I do, how much do you miss sweet liberty?
