The World We Used to Know lyrics

The flowers died on fields of hope

All the way from east to west

Where the mighty winds will blow

I'll put my dreams to rest

This scary monster is very much alive

Like a hundred years ago

If all those missiles would be bread

No one had to starve tonight

We run for shelter and what is left

Is a life ain't worth a dime

So far away from human rights

Stranded all alone

It's a long way to go

To find the world we used to know

A long way to go

To find the better world we used to know

Before we make this world a mess

We gotta clean up our minds

We could be brothers, sisters, yes

United once and all the time

From out of space the captain takes a look

At mother earth, so small

It's a long way to go

To find the world we used to know

A long way to go

To find the better world we used to know

Who will be cryin' when we fall

Just tell me

Who in the world can heal our souls

It's a long way to go

To find the world we used to know

A long way to go

To find the better world we used to know

A better world we used to know

A better world

It's a long way to go
