Will We Be Alright?

THE STREETS ARE FULL OF MISERY

THE SUBWAY AT NIGHT, IS A ZOO

A PART OF ME LIKES THE DIRT

I SEE THE POETRY IN THE DARKNESS

BUT I NO LONGER AIM FOR GLORY

VIOLENCE IS OUTSIDE EVERYWHERE

IN THE STREETS, IN THE CAFÉS,

BUT ALSO INSIDE OUR HOUSES,

ON THE TV, ON OUR CELLPHONES

ONCE I HELD THE WORLD IN MY HANDS

AND IT FELT LIKE IT WOULD LAST FOREVER,

BUT NOW I KNOW BETTER

I´VE LEARNED HOW TO STAND STILL AND QUIET FOR A LONG TIME,

THERE´S JUST TOO MUCH OF EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE,

AND I JUST NEED A BIT OF SILENCE

ALL THE DREAMS THAT WE HAD, WILL THEY EVER COME TRUE?

ALL THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE LOST,

WILL THEY EVER BE FOUND?

ALL THE HATRED WE FELT, WILL IT EVER BE GONE?

I NEED TO KNOW NOW

I NEED TO KNOW...

I NEED TO KNOW, WILL WE BE ALRIGHT?

WILL WE BE ALRIGHT?
