I sometimes find myself reaching out for, someone whom I can’t find there
Listening for a sound somewhere, which I just cannot hear
I sometimes find myself watching the sky, wondering why I am down here
Imprisoned in my mortality, captured by my own fear
I sometimes find myself asking why, the world must suffer in pain
So that some people dry out in heat, while others drown in rain
I sometimes find myself asking why, we can’t share our earth
When some children spend their lives in wealth, others are doomed from birth
When your world is falling down on you
And you can’t lift it up
When you’re climbing on a mountain high
And you can’t reach the top
Don’t ever think 'bout asking yourself why
Don’t ever start to cry
Cos my friend it’s not ‘bout wrong or right
Not ‘bout darkness or light
It’s just the way of the world….
Chorus
The way of the world….a law remained unspoken
The way of the world….a chain remained unbroken
The way of the world….a crime remained unsolved
The way of the world…. a defendant remained uncalled
I sometimes find myself waking up, glancing out through my window
Someone's tortured down on the streets, by mankind’s darkest crows
I sometimes find myself hearing a scream, filled with pain and despair
They made a vow to always love and care, now look what they've got there
I sometimes find myself asking why, so much love must be a waste
When some people wallow in the feast, others are banned from the taste
I sometimes find myself asking why, people don’t care ‘bout each other
That a neighbor needs a hand, nobody seems to bother
When you’re wandering down a lonesome path
Which never seems to end
When you’re carrying on a broken heart
Which never seems to mend
Don’t ever think 'bout asking yourself why
Don’t ever start to cry
Cos my friend it’s not ‘bout wrong or right
Not ‘bout darkness or light
It’s just the way of the world….
Chorus
The way of the world….a law remained unspoken
The way of the world….a chain remained unbroken
The way of the world….a crime remained unsolved
The way of the world….a defendant remained uncalled
It’s just the way of the world…
