The sky is blue and the sun's on fire
The moon keeps following me around
The earth is tired and my bones grow older
And the continents slowly collide
Time rolls on and it never stops
Unless you kill it for a while
So walk with me for hours and hours
And we'll slip between the cracks
I don't know what the world needs now
But I hope it's coming soon
I don't know if I will let you down
But I hope you forgive me if I do
I closed my eyes and I saw a life
The one I wish you'd had
If I knew then what I can't know now
Would I ever understand your pain
Before you left did you forget my name
Did you think of me as the stars flew by
The years are seconds I visit for hours
and the wind feels good upon my face
I don't know what the world needs now
But I hope it's coming soon
I don't know if I will let you down
But I hope you forgive me if I do
The rain is falling and it feels so right
My time is coming and I need some advice
About what's out there, about what's out there
About what's really out there
The sky is blue and the sun's on fire
And the moon keeps following me around
I can't forget the time we had
But I can't see you now
Before you left did you forget my name
Did you think of me as the stars flew by
The years we had I visit for hours
And the wind feels good upon my face
I don't know what the world needs now
But I hope it's coming soon
I don't know what the world needs now
But I know that I need you
