James Harvest Barclay - When The World Was Woken lyrics

When the world was woken

Save all unknowing eyes

And thoughts that once were spoken

Left only to despise

And when the dawn is breaking

Look upward to the sky

If life is so hard to live

Why not die?

When the world has woken

And shadows leave the air

Then each spell will be broken

For everyone who cares

The day will then be endless

The night will soon pass by

If life is so hard to live

Why not die?

When the world has woken

For all who see the sun

And gentle words are spoken

The dawning has begun

Then man can live together

With one triumphant cry

If life is so hard to live

Why not die?
