Lyrics

Has our (G)con science shown?

Has hymns the (G)sweet breeze blown?

Has the (G)kind ness gone?

Hope love still (G)lin gers on.

I drink my self of new found pit y, sit ting a lone in New York Cit y and I (G)don’t know why.

Are we (G)lis ten ing

to hymns of (G)of fer ing?

Have we (G)eyes to see

that love is (G)gath er ing?

I All the words that I’ve been read ing have now start ed the act of bleed y ing I (G)in to one.

in to one.

So I walk up on high,

and I step to the edge

to see my world be (D)low.

And I laugh at my self,

as the tears roll down,

’cause it’s the world I know.

Oh, it’s the world I know.

Yeah, I walk up on high,

and I step to the edge

to see my world be (D)low.

And I laugh at my self,

as the tears roll down,

’cause it’s the world I know.

Oh, it’s the world I know.
