Lost In A Lost World

(الألبوم: Seventh Sojourn - 1972)

I woke up today, I was crying
Lost in a lost world
'Cause so many people are dying
Lost in a lost world

Some of them are living an illusion
Bounded by the darkness of their minds
In their eyes it's nation against nation, against nation
With racial pride
Sad hearts they hide
Thinking only of themselves

They shun the light
(shun the light)
They think they're right
(think they're right)
Living in their empty shells
(some live in the empty shells)

Oh, can you see the world is crashing
(so many people, so many people)
Crashing down around their feet
Angry people in the street
(so many people, so many people)
Are telling them they've had their fill
Of politics that wound and kill

Grow the seeds of evolution
(so many people, so many people)
Revolution never won
It's just another form of gun
(so many people, so many people)
To do again what they have done
With all our brothers' youngest sons
(so many people, so many people)

Everywhere you go you see them searching
Everywhere you turn you feel the pain
Everyone is looking for the answers
Well, look again
Come on my friend
Love will find them in the end

Come on my friend
(on my friend)
We've got to bend
(got to bend)
On our knees and say a prayer

Oh, can you feel the world is pining
(so many people, so many people)
Pining for someone who really cares
Enough to share
His love with all of us
(so many people, so many people)
So we can be
An ever loving family

Have we forgotten we're all children
(so many people, so many people)
Children from a family tree
That's longer than a centipede
And started long ago when you and I
Were only love
(so many people, so many people)

I woke up today, I was crying
Lost in a lost world
So many people are dying
Lost in a lost world

So many people, so many people
People lost in a lost world
So many people, so many people
People lost in a lost world
