Hey World - Michael Franti, Spearhead

Tell me why the grass was greener,

Years ago, I swear, it used to grow here,

But no more here.

Tell me why on this hill,

All the birds they used to come to fly here,

Come to die here.

Tell me why I need to know,

Sometimes I wish I didn't have to know

All you've shown me.

Hey world, what you say,

Should I stick around for another day or two?

Don't give up on me, I won't give up on you.

Just believe in me like I believe in you.

Tell me why, on the corner,

All the kids that used to come to run here,

Load their guns here.

And tell me why it's okay to kill in the name of the Gods we pray,

Tell me who said it's okay to die in the name of the lies we say,

Tell me why there's child soldiers,

Tell me why they close the borders,

Tell me how to fight disease, and

Tell me now, won't you please

The only thing I want to do

Is to be in the arms of someone who

Believes in me, like I believe in you

And I say

Hey world what you say,

Should I stick for around for another day

Hey world what you say,

Should I stick for around for another day

Hey world what you say,

Should I stick for around for another day or two?

Don't give up on me, I won't give up

And I try, try, try, try,

I try, try, try, try,

On you

Don't give up on me

And I cry, cry, cry, cry,

I cry, cry, cry, cry,

You

Just believe in me like I believe

Hey world, what you say

Hey world, what you say

Hey world, what you say

Should I stick around for another day

Hey world, what you say

Should I stick around for another day or two?

Don't give up on me, I won't give up on you

Just believe in me like I believe in you

Don't give up on me

Hey world, what you say

Hey world, what you say

Hey world, what you say

Hey world, what you say
