Hey World (Don't Give Up Version) - Michael Franti & Spearhead
Tell me why the grass was greener
Years ago i swear it used to grow here
But no more here
Tell me why on this hill
All the birds they used to come to fly here
Come to die here
And tell me why i need to know
Sometimes i wish i didn't have to know
All you've shown me
Hey world what you say
Should i stick around for another day or two
Don't give up on me i won't give up on you
Just believe in me like i believe in you
Tell me why on the corner
All the kids that used to come to run here
Load their guns here
And tell me why it's okay
To kill in the name of the gods we pray
Tell me who said it's okay
To die in the name of the lies we say
Tell me why there's child soldiers
Tell me why they closed the borders
Tell me how to fight disease and
Tell me now won't you please
The only thing i want to do is to be in the arms
Of someone who believes in me
Like i believe in you
And i say hey world what you say
Should i stick around for another day
Hey world what you say
Should i stick around for another day
Hey world what you say
Should i stick around for another day or two
Don't give up on me i won't give up
And i try i try i try i try
I try i try i try i try for you
Don't give up on me
And i cry i cry i cry i cry
I cry i cry i cry i cry for you
Just believe in me like i believe
Hey world what you say
Hey world what you say
Hey world what you say
Should i stick around for another day
Hey world what you say
Should i stick around for another day or two
Don't give up on me
I won't give up on you
Just believe in me
Like i believe in you
Don't give up on me
Hey world what you say
Hey world what you say
Hey world what you say
Hey world what you say
