The Worlds Not Crying Anymore by The Living Wells Lyrics
[Verse 1: Moshe Friedman]
All I see is
War, disease, and poverty
High divorce and robbery
So much bad news on the news
That it's starting not to bother me
Corruption and low voter turnout
Oil spills and general motor burnout
Sky is falling down, get the word out
Get the word out, no will
[?] 'cause it doesn't care
Chairs of schools, there isn't a spare
Politicians promise visions of optimism living on a wish and a prayer
But don't despair, ripping your hair
The truth's in the air, if you listen it's there
Keep hoping, eyes open
We can't fix the world till we realize it's broken
[Chorus: Rick Fox]
Save your tears for the day
You notice the world's not crying anymore
Fight with all of your might
To know that the world's not crying anymore
I'm trying just to cry today
[Verse 2: Rick]
The painting called the universe is beautiful
Unless you focus solely on the grain
The puzzle is a metaphor for all of us
A broken picture begs to be reframed
What you think is tragedy
An answer needs a question like a kernel to the chaff
And in comedy
The key is that you have to understand the joke to laugh
[Chorus]
Happy to be alive, but we're stuck in a daze
Stuck in a daze
[Bridge: Rick and Moshe]
And maybe it's not so bad, maybe it's just the way it is
(We would abandon our faithlessness if only we witnessed what greatness is)
Even if things could change, what would it take and who am I?
(Use your eye to view inside, the human power is to decide)
If I were to take a stand, the rest of the world would stand facing me
(So many waiting awakening, they just need one act of bravery)
It's taken so long for this heart to heal, now I can finally start to feel
(The pain might be hard to deal, but use the fuel to make tomorrow real)
Don't let another year go by, don't let another tear run dry
(Distractions might keep us laughing, but sometimes we need to cry)
To give us a reason why we're all still here to try
(To show the world that we're still alive, remind the world we're alive)
[Chorus]
