Caedmons Call - This World lyrics

There's tarnish on the golden rule

And I want to jump from this ship of fools

Show me a place where hope is young

And a people who are not afraid to love

(Chorus)

This world has nothing for me

And this world has everything

All that I could want

And nothing that I need

This world is making me drunk

On the spirits of fear

So when he says who will go

I am nowhere near

(repeat chorus twice)

And the least of these

Look like criminals to me

So I leave Christ on the street

This world has held my hand

And has led me into intolerance

But now I'm waking up

And now I'm breaking up

But now I'm making up

For lost time

(repeat chorus)
