(Mike Pinder)



I woke up today, I was crying,

Lost in a lost world,

Cos' so many people are dying,

Lost in a lost world.

Some of them are living an illusion,

Bounded by the darkness of their minds,

In their eyes, it's nation against nation,

With racial pride, sad hearts they hide

Thinking only of themselves, they shun

The light. They think they're right

Living in their empty shells.



Oh caan you see their world is crashing

Crashing down around their feet

And angry people in the street,

Are telling them they've had their fill

Of politics that wound and kill

Grow, the seeds of evolution

Revolution never won

It's just another form of gun

To do again what they have done

With all our brothers' youngest sons.



Everywhere you go you'll see them searching

Everywhere you turn you'll feel the pain

Everyone is looking for the answer

We'll look again, come on my friend

Love will find them in the end

Come on my friend we've got to bend

On our knees and say a prayer.



Oh can you feel the world is pining

Pining for someone who really cares,

Enough to share his love,

With all of us. So we can be

An ever loving family.

Have you forgotten we're all children

Children from a family tree

That's longer than a centipede

And started long ago when you

And I were only love-



I woke up today, I was crying,

Lost in a lost world,

Cos' so many people are dying,

Lost in a lost world.
