Heartbreaking World

The saddest thing

I've ever seen

Was a starving face

On my TV screen

The desperate faces

That I saw

Had my disbelief

Dropping from my jaw

The harvest could be

Shared around

Instead it's buried

In the ground

The saddest thing

I've ever seen

Was a football fan

Die for his team

The toughest thing

I've ever known

Was the soldier boy

Who never made it home

It's fiction live before our eyes

It leaves me cold

And my heart cries

It's a heartbreaking world

If you want it to be

You're the one

Who breaks it for me

You're the one

Who breaks it for me

The greatest thing

I've ever seen

Was a new born child

Looking up at me

The greatest thing

I've ever heard

Was that baby's cry

In this wicked world

The innocence of that cry

Leaves me cold

And my heart cries

It's a heartbreaking world

If you want it to be
