Ron Sexsmith - Impossible World lyrics

Lord, if you will lend me your ear It seems like this old world's beyond repair But tell me, does it have to be? Can we summon the will come up with the faith? There are those who say we haven't got a prayer Nor have we the strength to bear This impossible world d**h, if you will give me your hand For there are some things I'll never understand Could someone explain to me How many lives, how many tears must fall? Before we learn we're going nowhere Not unless we learn to share This impossible world Is that a tear in the eye of the storm? A hint of fear in the relative calm? It appears all attempts to feel so safe and warm Are all in vain When I was a child I opened my eyes And beheld a world of possibility Though now all there seems to be Is an impossible world Still there's a song that I sing in my heart There's a light that i see in the dark And a voice that has softly whispered to my soul Do not be afraid Lord, if you will lend me your ear It seems like this old world's beyond repair Oh, tell me, does it have to be Such an impossible world?
