Just look at all those hungry mouths we have to feed
Take a look at all the suffering we breed
So many lonely faces scattered all around
Searching for what they need

Is this the world we created?
What did we do it for?
Is this the world we invaded
Against the law?
So it seems in the end
Is this what we’re all living for today?
The world that we created

You know that every day a helpless child is born
Who needs some loving care inside a happy home
Somewhere, a wealthy man is sitting on his throne
Waiting for life to go by
Oh-oh, is this the world we created?
We made it on our own
Is this the world we devasted, right to the bone?
If there’s a God in the sky, looking down
What can he think of what we’ve done
To the world that He created?

Maybe you can’t change the world
But don’t run away
And don’t be so deeply concerned
You own every day
Well, maybe you can’t change the world
It’s yours anyway

Life goes on
Innocent the baby with eyes so clear
No one knows your name
And I swear that’s holy
Things will be the same for a million years
No one takes the blame
But the sun will come up each day
And the moon will be on its way
Rich or poor
Well, it’s all the same in the Forest of tears
