[Chorus 1]
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
The state of the world has been on my mind
G#m D#m/F# C#m/F
It's weighed on my shoulders, demanding my time
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
Something is missing, it's hard to stay sane
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
Why do the answers seem lost and arcane?
[Verse 1]
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
May wars stop once and for all
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
And cast off the violence that has us enthralled
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
May healing not just be for the few
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
May peace be found for me and you
[Verse 2]
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
I speak of a message said thousands of times, yet
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
We smile when it's mentioned, then roll our eyes
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
It may be naive but I must believe
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
Inside every human, there's kindness still
[Verse 3]
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
Hope is a fire that burns in our soul
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
If only an ember awaiting your call
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
To rise up in triumph should we all unite
C#m/E D#m/F# C#m
A spark for change is yours to ignite (oh)
[Bridge 1]
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
Ah, ah, ah, ah (x3)
B/F# C#m
Ah, ah, ah, ah (x1)
[Verse 4]
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
I believe this message is worth our time
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
There are people who've suffered yet conquered the climb
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
Who've sat in the stillness through darkness and light
G#m D#m C#m/E
And found love in the colors between black and white
[Verse 5]
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
May compassion turn foe into friend
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
May self awareness help us transcend
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
May forgiveness be given, despite lives that were lost
G#m D#m/F# C#m
For isn't it peace all of us want
[Bridge 2]
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
Ah, ah, ah, ah (x3)
B/F# C#m
Ah, ah, ah, ah (x1)
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
Eh, eh, eh, eh (x3)
B/F# C#m
Eh, eh, eh, eh (x1)
[Chous 2]
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
The state of the world has been on my mind
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
Demanding my conscience and all of my time
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
Was there ever an age where it all made sense
G#m D#m/F# C#m/E
Or am I reminiscing about lost innocence?
