I look at you all
See the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor
And I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why, nobody told you
How to unfold your love
I don't know how, someone controlled you
They bought and sold you

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know how, you were diverted
You were perverted, too
I don't know how, you were inverted
No one alerted you

I look at you all
See the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I Look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps
