Lyrics
New Year comes along and I'm whispering a song about the sorrow,
The look upon your face when you heard about the wave made me cry.
For us there is today but for so many there will be no tomorrow,
Cause standing in the way when they pray up to that holy sky,
Is a world that's changed, a world that's changed.
Is there beauty found in death could it be there's something left and always will be,
Or when nature she calls is there no chance at all must we fly to the other side?
Leaving behind a world so cold, so unkind but it's a new dream,
For those that are left who try to do what is best when we die.
In a world that's changed and change is pain and pain is changing our world again.
I hope someday, I'll see your face finally smiling.
And life goes on and on we roam in search of somewhere to call our home.
A place in time, a state of mind where we're finally living.
In a world that's changed and change is pain and pain is changing our world again.
I hope someday, I'll see your face finally smiling.
And life goes on and on we roam in search of somewhere to call our home.
A place in time, a state of mind where we're finally living.
Where we're finally living, where we're finally living.
In a world that's changed.
