The World I Know

Has our conscience shown?

Has the sweet breeze blown?

Has all kindness gone?

Hope still lingers on

I drink myself of new-found pity

Sitting alone in New York City

And I don't know why

Are we listening?

Hymns of offering

Have we eyes to see?

Love is gathering

Well all the words that I've been reading

Have now started the act of bleeding

Into one, into one

So I walk up on high

And I step to the edge

To see my world below

And I laugh at myself

While the tears roll down

'Cause it's the world I have known

Oh, it's the world I have known

I drink myself of new-found pity

Sitting alone in New York City

And I don't know why

Don't know why

So I walk up on high

And I step to the edge

To see my world below

And I laugh at myself

While the tears roll down

'Cause it's the world I have known

Oh, it's the world I have known

Yeah, I walk up on high

And I step to the edge

To see my world below

And I laugh at myself

While the tears roll down

'Cause it's the world I've known

Oh, it's the world I have known
