[Verse 1]
Tell me why this world is a mess
I thought you always tried your best
Tell me, what am I to do?
Maybe you should do it, too
Tell me why they're sleeping alone
No house, nowhere to call a home
Tell me what I'm meant to see
Won't you stop preaching at me?

[Pre-Chorus]
And I wanna see what it's all about
And I wanna live, wanna give something back

[Chorus]
Don't tell me that it's over
It's only just begun
Don't tell me that it's over
Or that this song is sung
The song is sung

[Verse 2]
All the money in the world
Would never set all the wrongs to right
All the fire in the world
Would never set my heart alight
I dream of a day when it's all gone away
And the sun is shining bright
I dream of a day when it's all gone away
But dreams are for night
[Pre-Chorus]
And I wanna see what it's all about
And I wanna live, wanna give something back

[Chorus]
Don't tell me that it's over
It's only just begun
Don't tell me that it's over
Or that this song is sung
The song is sung

[Bridge]
Don't tell that it's over, please
I'm on my knees
I'm begging you to stop
It's over, please
I'm on my knees
I'm begging you to stop

[Pre-Chorus]
And I wanna see what it's all about
And I wanna live, wanna give something back

[Chorus]
Don't tell me that it's over
It's only just begun
Don't tell me that it's over
Or that this song is sung
The song is sung
