The The - Lonely Planet lyrics

Planet Earth is slowing down

Overseas, underground

Wherever you look around

Lord, take me by the hand

lead me through these desert sands

To the shores of a promised land.

You make me start when you look into my heart

And see me for who I really am.

If you can't change the world. Change yourself.

If you can't change the world. Change yourself.

I didn't care if the sun didn't shine

& the rain didn't fall from the sky

I just cared about myself

From this world to the next

And from the next back to this.

By our actions we are bound.

We're running out of love

running out of hate

running out of space for the human race.

Planet Earth is slowing down.

You make me cry when you look into my eyes.

And see me for who I really am.

If you can't change the world. Change yourself.

If you can't change the world. Change yourself.

And if you can't change yourself....change the world.

I'm in love with the planet I'm standing on

I can't stop

I can't stop thinking of

All the people I've ever loved

All the people I have lost

All the people I'll never know

All the feelings I've never shown.

The world's too big. And life's too short.

To be alone...To be alone.
