3. The World I Know Has our conscience shown? Has the sweet breeze blown? Has all kindness gone? Hope still lingers on I drink myself in newfound pity Sittin' alone in New York City And I don't know why Are we listening To hymns of offering? Have we eyes to see Love is gathering? All the words that I've been reading Have now started the act of bleeding Into one Into one So I walk up on high And I step to the edge To see my world below And I laugh at myself While the tears roll down 'Cause it's the world I know Oh, it's the world I know I drink myself in newfound pity Sittin' alone in New York City And I don't know why Don't know why So I walk up on high And I step to the edge To see my world below And I laugh at myself While the tears roll down 'Cause it's the world I know Oh, it's the world I know Yeah, I walk up on high And I step to the edge To see my world below And I laugh at myself While the tears roll down 'Cause it's the world I know Oh, it's the world I know
