Anger and hate
Much less kindness
This is what the world
Has come to
I'm sorry
But this is what's best
For the world's more full of weeping
Than you'll ever understandPain and sorrow
Much less kindness
This is what the world
Has come to
I'm sorry
But this is all for you
For the world's more full of weeping
Than you'll ever understandRegret and betrayal
Much less kindness
This is what the world
Has come to
I'm sorry
But this is better than life
For the world's more full of weeping
Than you'll ever understandKindness and mercy
Much better than all that
This is what I have come to
I'm sorry
But this is all necessary
To protect you from the pain of living
For the world's more full of weeping
Than you could ever bear
