Tell me why the grass was greener
Years ago, I swear, it used to grow here
But no more here

Tell me why on this hill
All the birds they used to come to fly here
Come to die here

Tell me why I need to know
Sometimes I wish I didn't have to know
All you've shown me

Hey world, what you say
Should I stick around for another day or two?
Don't give up on me, I won't give up on you
Just believe in me like I believe in you

Tell me why, on the corner
All the kids that used to come to run here
Load their guns here

And tell me why it's okay to kill in the name of the Gods we pray
Tell me who said it's okay to die in the name of the lies we say
Tell me why there's child soldiers
Tell me why they close the borders
Tell me how to fight disease, and
Tell me now, won't you please
The only thing I want to do
Is to be in the arms of someone who
Believes in me, like I believe in you

And I say
Hey world what you say
Should I stick for around for another day
Hey world what you say
Should I stick for around for another day
Hey world what you say
Should I stick for around for another day or two?

Don't give up on me, I won't give up
And I try, try, try, try
I try, try, try, try
On you
Don't give up on me
And I cry, cry, cry, cry
I cry, cry, cry, cry
You
Just believe in me like I believe

Hey world, what you say
Hey world, what you say
Hey world, what you say
Should I stick around for another day
Hey world, what you say
Should I stick around for another day or two?
Don't give up on me, I won't give up on you
Just believe in me like I believe in you

Don't give up on me

Hey world, what you say
Hey world, what you say
Hey world, what you say
Hey world, what you say?
