If you take the tears from crying eyes,
Will the hurt just disappear,
Put a weapon in the hand of a frightened man,
Will he show no fear,
So we stand and we watch while the city lights go out one by one,
Mother Nature sits on the other side with a loaded gun.Why is there blue sky,
Why is there red sky,
Now's the time to ask the reason,
Should the blue sky,
Meet the red sky,
Should the rules have to change at all,
We all know whatever they say,
Time is on our side,
This world has been here before just going round and round and round.
We all agree as far as we can see,
It's just the way of the world,
That's how it's meant to be,
There's right and there's wrong,
There's weak and there's strong,
It's just the way of the world,
And that's how it's meant to be.Take the motion from a spinning wheel and watch it stop,
Take the danger out of a naked flame and what have you got,
If you take the anger out of a broken heart, you feel no pain,
Could you swear if you had that second chance you wouldn't do it again.Why is there blue sky,
Why is there red sky,
Now's the time to ask the reason,
Should the blue sky,
Meet the red sky,
Should the rules have to change at all,
We all know whatever they say,
Time is on our side,
This world has been here before just going round and round and round.
We all agree as far as we can see,
It's just the way of the world,
That's how it's meant to be,
There's right and there's wrong,
There's weak and there's strong,
It's just the way of the world,
And that's how it's meant to be,
