the world beats a drum of hope and despair
The world beats a drum
Of hope and despair
Your friend
Is suffering
And he thinks the world doesn't care
The world wails darkly
In the avenues
Of your bed
And each morning waits
With a gun to your head
The world beats madly
With people round the bend
Twisted and distorted
Turning hope to disrepair
But i am watching over you
Turning vile words into wine
Letting you know you are beautiful
In the solace of you mind
