Listen, can you hear it?
Such beauty, violin
It’s strings are humming softly
To remind us where we’ve been
Such time it took to get here
So far, the journey seemed
So quick were we to make it
We’ve forgotten why we dreamed
Our life was so much simpler
Our souls, they all were freed
When nothing seemed to matter
For love was all we’d need
Just how did all this happen
Where did we go astray
Is it lost forever
Or can we find our way
Such sadness sweeps, such sorrow
Alone and thinking, every night
My heart, it longs so dearly
To feel that things are right
My hope, I fear is empty
Despite how deep I yearn
To live with pain, this broken
Is something I can’t learn
I wish this world was kinder
I wish we could all live
I wish we’d act as equals
I wish that we’d forgive
We lost our love, compassion
Somewhere along the way
Yet hope will live in my heart
To find ourselves, one day
How the World Should Work
