James Brown - World Lyrics

World, world

World, tell me what happened to the bliss
And world, tell me where's the love we missed
World, tell me what happened to the bliss
And world, tell me where's the love we missed

I hope you have a change of heart
Because we can't go on like this
If we can't love our brother
And we have lost the love of our mother
'Cause you said never to be apart
And remove the hate
And add love to our hearts

I never thought good people
Would ever, ever fail
And let this wonderful world
Be like a prison jail

World
Let all the hearts make up
And let everybody
Drink from that civil cup
Tell me what else
The love we missed
Because we can't
We can't go on like this

If the truth can't proceed
Then we are lost
Because hope is just too far away
And all the good work
Of many, many good men
Will sink
By the dock of the bay

Hit it! Oh - we need love
Please, give a damn, hey!
Be concerned now

Lord have mercy
Yes we need love
It's all we need
(I know it right now)

I never thought
That people would ever, ever fail
And let this wonderful world
Be like a prison jail
