The World I Know

Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on

I drink myself of new-found pity
Sitting alone in New York City and I don't know why

Are we listening hymns of offering?
Have we eyed to see?
Love is gathering

Well, all the words that I've been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding into one, into one

So I walk up on high and I step to the edge to see my world below
And I laugh at myself while the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I have known
Oh, it's the world I have known

I drink myself of new-found pity
Sitting alone in New York City and I don't know why, don't know why

So I walk up on high and I step to the edge to see my world below
And I laugh at myself while the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I have known
Oh, it's the world I have known

Yeah, I walk up on high and I step to the edge to see my world below
And I laugh at myself while the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I've known
Oh, it's the world I have known
