(intro)  Dm 

Dm                     G
I woke up today, I was crying,
Dm        G
Lost in a lost world,
Dm                      G
Cos' so many people are dying,
Dm        G
Lost in a lost world.

Dm                         DmMaj7/C#
Some of them are living an illusion,
Dm                               Bb
Bounded by the darkness of their minds,
Gm                                 A7
In their eyes, it's nation against nation against nation,
      Dm            Gm
With racial pride, sad hearts they hide
A7               Dm
Thinking only of themselves, they shun
          Gm
The light. They think they're right
A7                   Dm
Living in their empty shells.

Gm     C                          F
Oh...  can you see their world is crashing (...so many people...)
Em
Crashing down around their feet
A7
And angry people in the street,
Dm
Are telling them they've had their fill
A7
Of politics that wound and kill
Gm    C               F
Grow, the seeds of evolution
Em
Revolution never won
A7
It's just another form of gun
Dm
To do again what they have done
Gm                     A7       Bb
With all our brothers' youngest sons.

(solo) Dm 
       Dm  G  (3x)

Dm                                DmMaj7/C#
Everywhere you go you'll see them searching
Dm                                  Bb
Everywhere you turn you'll feel the pain
Gm                          A7
Everyone is looking for the answer
Dm                Gm
We'll look again, come on my friend
A7                     Dm
Love will find them in the end
Dm                      Gm
Come on my friend we've got to bend
A7                     Dm
On our knees and say a prayer.

Gm   C                         F
Oh   can you feel the world is pining
Em
Pining for someone who really cares,
A7
Enough to share his love,
Dm
With all of us. So we can be
A7
An ever loving family.
Gm  C                            F
Ahh Have you forgotten we're all children
Em
Children from a family tree
A7
That's longer than a centipede
Dm
And started long ago when you
    Gm          A   Bb
And I were only love-

Lost in a lost world,
Dm                      G
Cos' so many people are dying,
Dm        G
Lost in a lost world
