Moshe Friedman - The World's Not Crying Anymore lyrics

[Verse 1: Moshe Friedman] All I see is War, disease, and poverty High divorce and robbery So much bad news on the news That it's starting not to bother me Corruption and low voter turnout Oil spills and general motor burnout Sky is falling down, get the word out Get the word out, no will [?] 'cause it doesn't care Chairs of schools, there isn't a spare Politicians promise visions of optimism living on a wish and a prayer But don't despair, ripping your hair The truth's in the air, if you listen it's there Keep hoping, eyes open We can't fix the world till we realize it's broken [Chorus: Rick Fox] Save your tears for the day You notice the world's not crying anymore Fight with all of your might To know that the world's not crying anymore I'm trying just to cry today [Verse 2: Rick] The painting called the universe is beautiful Unless you focus solely on the grain The puzzle is a metaphor for all of us A broken picture begs to be reframed What you think is tragedy An answer needs a question like a kernel to the chaff And in comedy The key is that you have to understand the joke to laugh [Chorus] Happy to be alive, but we're stuck in a daze Stuck in a daze [Bridge: Rick and Moshe] And maybe it's not so bad, maybe it's just the way it is (We would abandon our faithlessness if only we witnessed what greatness is) Even if things could change, what would it take and who am I? (Use your eye to view inside, the human power is to decide) If I were to take a stand, the rest of the world would stand facing me (So many waiting awakening, they just need one act of bravery) It's taken so long for this heart to heal, now I can finally start to feel (The pain might be hard to deal, but use the fuel to make tomorrow real) Don't let another year go by, don't let another tear run dry (Distractions might keep us laughing, but sometimes we need to cry) To give us a reason why we're all still here to try (To show the world that we're still alive, remind the world we're alive) [Chorus]
