The World I Knew

[Verse 1] I look out the window at the faces passing by Used to see a brother, now I see a guarded eye We’re building up the fences, we’re locking every gate Trading in the mercy for a heavy dose of hate [Chorus] Oh, I’m losing you, I feel you slip away The world I used to lean on is turning cold and grey Yeah, I’m losing you, it’s a bitter kind of truth We’re forgetting how to love, we’re out of touch with youth [Verse 2] Everyone’s a kingdom, everyone’s a king But nobody is listening when the lonely voices sing We only care for "our kind," we turn our backs on pain While the garden that we planted is dying for the rain [Bridge] It wasn’t always like this, I remember how it felt To feel the icy borders of a stranger’s spirit melt Now the warmth is fading... yeah, the fire’s going out! [Outro] I’m losing you... Don’t let the kindness go... stay with me...
