Derek Webb - This World lyrics

rate me

There's tarnish on the golden rule

And I wanna jump from this ship of fools

Show me a place where hope is young

And a people who are not afraid to love

This world has nothing for me and this world has

Everything

All that I could want and nothing that I need

This world is making me drunk on the spirit of fear.

So when you say who will go, I am nowhere near.

'Cuz this world has nothing for me and this world has

Everything

All that I could wanted and nothing that I need

But the least of these look like criminals to me

So I leave Christ on the street

This world has held my hand and has led me into

Intolerance

So now I'm breaking up, now I'm waking up

I'm making up for lost time

This world has nothing for me and this world has

Everything

All that I could want and nothing that I need (2x)
