World - James Brown

World, tell me what happened to the bliss

And world, tell me where’s the love we missed

World, tell me what happened to the bliss

And world, tell me where’s the love we missed

I hope you have a change of heart

Because we can’t go on like this

If we can’t love our brother

And we have lost the love of our mother

Because you said never to be apart

And remove the hate

And add love to our hearts

I never thought good people

Would ever, ever fail

And let this wonderful world

Be like a prison jail

World

Let all the hearts make up

And let everybody

Drink from that civil cup

Tell me what else

The love we missed

Because we can’t

We can’t go on like this

If the truth can’t proceed

Then we are lost

Because hope is just too far away

And all the good work

Of many, many good men

Will sink

By the dock of the bay

Hit it!

Oh we need love

Please, give a damn, hey!

Be concerned now

Lord have mercy

Yes we need love

It’s all we need

(i know it right now)

I never thought

That people would ever, ever fail

And let this wonderful world

Be like a prison jail
