Labelle - Tears for the World lyrics

Sanity for the world, I feel it deep down in my soul When I think about all the things we're going through So much misery and sadness, so much pain It's just insane, I'm telling you Over in Europe and Asia, the violence is contagious What about Africa? People starving, they got no food So much hate so much grief, so much jealously Said it makes you wanna cry, cry, cry Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry Oh, tears for the world I'm boo hoo, in tears for the world There's go to be something we can do When I think about all the lies that's been told All the slaves that's been sold Children robbed of the gift of life Oh, it just ain't right North and south America Shoot outs in the schools In Australia people are struggling to survive Everywhere there's earthquakes, Katherina Tornadoes, fires It only makes you wanna cry, cry, cry Tears for the world Old caps are melting in the Antarctica The water is rising One day it's hot, next day it's cold Everybody sing Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on the world, Lord Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on the world, Lord Soldiers laying down their lives so we can be free But who cries for them if not you and me Shed some tears for the world for all the children Who have nothing to eat, no place to sleep No mother, no father, no sister, no brothers It makes you wanna cry, cry, cry, cry Oh, it makes you wanna cry, cry, cry Tears for the world Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on the world, Lord Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on the world, Lord Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on the world, Lord Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on the world, Lord Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on the world, Lord Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on the world, Lord Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on the world, Lord Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on the world, Lord
