The World They Left Behind Lyrics

"The sky clears here on another day to find a world that's gone astray,

Things don't look so good, and we're not real sure if there will be another day,

Then the clouds begin to part and the sun breaks through, winter begins to ease,

As spring fills the air, the warm winds blow, and I think that we might just make it after all.

I'm pounding on your door!
With all this good news to share with you, but find you staring into the night,

You can slash your wrists, hang yourself, what will it be today? What good will it do? How will it make them pay? -for the things they've done to you...

They say: 'We're sorry we don't share your optimistic point of view'

They say: 'Dreaming's fine, but it's hard to dream when your head is in a vise'

And I say 'Come on now, take a look around, we've got this world they left us behind',

And I know we can change it, why don't we just try...
The world they left us behind."
