[Verse 1]
Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on

[Pre-Chorus]
I dream myself a newfound pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why

[Verse 2]
Are we listening
To hymns of offering?
Have we eyes to see
Love is gathering?

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, all the words that I've been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding
Into one, into one

[Chorus]
So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I know
Oh, it's the world I know
[Instrumental Bridge]

[Pre-Chorus]
I dream myself a newfound pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why
Don't know why

[Chorus]
So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I know
Oh, it's the world I know

[Outro]
Yeah, I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I know
Oh, it's the world I know
