Mike Pinder - The World Today lyrics

I'm feeling sorry for the world today

They're making food the corporation way

Use the grain to fatten up the beef

They're starving children in the Third World streets

The sun won't shine and the rain won't rain

Can't grow the gruels if we break the chain

We're gonna have to fix this bitter cup

North wind's a blowing and the sand storm's up

Rising prices, energy crisis

We never get to make headway

Politicians, contradictions

Always seem to lead us astray

So lift yourself up to your inner star

Your love's news no matter who you are

There's a choice, we have to choose

We hear a voice, do you hear the news

People shining, Dark Age declining

Now the truth can set us free

Inner visions, not superstitions

Will bring peace and harmony

Can you see

To have love we have to give away

To have life we have to live each day

Turn a page and walk out of the dark

Into the light, see a new age start

Children shining, Dark Age declining

Now the truth can set us free

Inner visions, not superstitions

Will bring peace and harmony

Can you see

I'm feeling happy for the Earth today

She's gonna make it in her own way

A solar system full of love and grace

Her evolution to a shining place

Shining place

Human race

Shining

Shining
