What In The World
Last night I woke to siren screams / Just like I did the night before / Help coming late to some crime scene / It wasn’t far from my front door / I tried to hold the thoughts at bay / Of someone’s faceless pain / But I knew tears would flow like blood / In the indifferent rain I cried: /
What darkness hides within the hearts of men? / Where did this madness all begin? ///
Chorus:
And what in the world / What in the world / What in the world / Makes us act this way / and turn away from You //
Today I woke to my alarm / Just like I did the day before / I stretched and put the coffee on / I kissed my baby out the door / Then as he turned to wave good-bye / I said some petty thing / I saw the light in his eyes die / It left me wondering / What darkness hides within this heart of mine? / Why do I do what I despise? //
And what in the world / What in the world / What in the world / Makes us act this way and turn away from You ///
Hook:
Tonight I look into my soul / I don’t like what I see / No room for you for I am full / This is so much of me / And suddenly, there’s no mystery …
What in the world / What in the world / What in the world / Makes us act this and turn away from You / What in the world / What in the world / Makes us act this way and / Turn away from You //
TAG:
Greater is He / That is in me / Than He who’s in the world / What in the world //
