Turn This World Around

Word's are goin' †round this town
 Splintered fragments of the untold truth
 The facts get twisted inside out
 And they turn to gospel without living proof
 And like grains of sand it falls from our hands
 Tell me what is left to do
 'Cause I feel you near but I don't know where you are
 Have you walked away or just ran out of heart
 Our illusioned lives go crashing to the ground
 Can we turn our world around
 Can me turn our world around
 Has our wisdom fooled us both
 Shattered in the concrete steel and glass
 Now we watch the teachers crawl
 On the rubble of foundations built to last
 Now where do we stand, we shake the fated hand
 Above the ash and crumbled walls
 'Cause I feel you near but I don't know where you are
 Have you walked away or just ran out of heart
 Our illusioned lives go crashing to the ground
 Can we turn our world around
 Help me turn our world around
 Slipped through the guiding hands of a fool proof plan
 Now bewildered eyes start to understand
 Like a child learns to walk, into the dark we must crawl
 †Cause I feel you near but I don't know where you are
 Have you walked away or just ran out of heart
 Our illusioned lives go crashing to the ground
 Can we turn our world around
 Can we turn our world around
 Help me turn our world around
