Do you see things fall apart – wish you could put it back together
Have you felt your broken heart
Crack, break up and like glass shatter
Have you seen innocent children
Left to starve like they don't matter
Have you loved someone – like they were a wise and a good master
Have I spent too much time entertaining myself
Have I ignored the warnings given about being led to hell
Will I see an end to my troubles, my struggles and my heartache
Sometimes Lord, this world is too much to take
This girl knows - she can be better
A young man caught in the rain knows he will get wetter
Every eye that saw another suffer knows to the letter
That this world - can be better
Will I reach for the sun, touch it once and bring it down
Shed the light into the darkest places as the world goes round
Will I hold you in my arms and forget about the wars
Resting peacefully with you find a way to stop and pause
Will I search only for beauty deep within your heart
Leave everything I thought I knew – into the abyss cast
All the judgement, all the lies, all the hate that I despised
Turn to the good Lord above
Who reaches down to take us high
This girl knows - she can be better
A young man caught in the rain knows he will get wetter
Every eye that saw another suffer knows to the letter
That this world - can be better
This world can be better
This world can be better
My Lord, please have mercy on my soul so worn and thirsty
On my mouth that is so guilty and my eyes that have been worthy
Of the pits of hell so firey, I deserve for you to curse me
So let me get up early and beg you Lord for your mercy
Clasp my guilty hands on my knees, talking like old girlies
In true faith that you have heard me
I say Lord, come down and beat me
I'm unholy and unworthy, unclean, wretched and so dirty
Oh my Lord, only you can make me holy so please help me
This girl knows - she can be better
A young man caught in the rain knows he will get wetter
Every eye that saw another suffer knows to the letter
That this world - can be better
This world can be better
This world can be better
This world can be better
This world can be better
This world can be better
This world can be better
If we make it so
The Lord has sent us down from above
The gifts he's holding up
We'll make it better
Make it better
This world
This world can
This world can be better
This world can be better
