Get out of bed, put on your shoes
Make some coffee, turn on the news
There's people dyin', cryin', singin' the blues
In every age of the centuries' span
Wise men try to understand
Why sorrow is forever the song of man
Hope lives in the hearts of men
Hatred creeps in now and then
I hate to tell you kid, but it'll never end
Women cry as the men kill
Always have and always will
You know we're never gonna run out of blood to spill
Hearts break, hearts mend
Pick up the pieces, you get up again
The sun comes up and the sun goes down
That's just the way the world goes around
Lions kill and rabbits run
Men make bread and butter and guns
Death comes around to visit everyone
Empires crumble and fall from the
Twin towers to the wailing wall
One thing remains, the terrible beauty of it all
Hearts break, hearts mend
The river flows around and bend
The sun comes up and the sun goes down
That's just the way the world goes around
Hearts break, hearts mend
Hope lives in the hearts that mend
The sun comes up and the sun goes down
That's just the way the world goes around
Hearts break, hearts mend
Pick up the pieces and get up again
The sun comes up and the sun goes down
That's just the way the world goes around
