James Brown - World lyrics

[Intro] World, world [Verse] World, tell me what happened to the bliss And world, tell me where's the love we missed World, tell me what happened to the bliss And world, tell me where's the love we missed I hope you have a change of heart Because we can't go on like this If we can't love our brother And we have lost the love of our mother Because you said never to be apart And remove the hate And add love to our hearts I never thought good people Would ever, ever fail And let this wonderful world Be like a prison jail World Let all the hearts make up And let everybody Drink from that civil cup Tell me what else The love we missed Because we can't We can't go on like this If the truth can't proceed Then we are lost Because hope is just too far away And all the good work Of many, many good men Will sink By the dock of the bay Hit it! Oh we need love Please, give a damn, hey! Be concerned now Lord have mercy Yes we need love It's all we need (i know it right now) I never thought That people would ever, ever fail And let this wonderful world Be like a prison jail
