The Moody Blues
Lost in a Lost World

[Intro]
I woke up today, I was crying
Lost in a lost world
So many people are dying
Lost in a lost world

[Verse 1]
Some of them are living an illusion
Bounded by the darkness of their minds
In their eyes, it's nation against nation against nation
With racial pride, sad hearts they hide
Thinking only of themselves
They shun the light (Shun the light)
They think they're right (Think they're right)
Living in their empty shells

[Chorus]
Oh, can you see their world is crashing?
(So many people, so many people)
Crashing down around their feet, angry people in the street
Telling them they've had their fill of politics that wound and kill
Grow the seeds of evolution
(So many people, so many people)
Revolution never won, it's just another form of gun
To do again what they have done with all our brothers'
(So many people, so many people)
Youngest sons
(So many people, so many people)
[Verse 2]
Everywhere you go you'll see them searching
Everywhere you turn you'll feel the pain
Everyone is looking for the answers
We'll look again, come on, my friend
Love will find us in the end
Come on, my friend (Come on, my friend)
We've got to bend (Got to bend)
On our knees and say a prayer

[Chorus]
Oh, can you feel the world is pining?
(So many people, so many people)
Pining for someone, who really cares enough to share his love
With all of us so we can be an ever loving family
Have we forgotten we're all children
(So many people, so many people)
Children from a family tree, that's longer than a centipede
Started long ago when you and I
(So many people, so many people)
Were only love
(So many people, so many people)

[Outro]
I woke up today, I was crying
Lost in a lost world
So many people are dying
Lost in a lost world
So many people, so many people
People lost in a lost world
So many people, so many people
People lost in a lost world
