[First verse]
Standing around as time goes by,
Killers born and lovers die.
Bombs are dropped right out of the sky,
Children laugh while adults cry.

Living on a dream that you can't see,
Trying to become what others need you to be.
Feeling trapped in your body,
Is living life life's special fee?

CHORUS:
You may stop, the world will go.
The sky is high, and the tide is low.
The world around you pitches and rolls,
And the stars don't care...

[Second verse]
Working out what's real within life's din,
Knowing where you're going, but not where you've been.
Underweight people can't believe they're thin,
And when on Earth, in Earth, do you win?

CHORUS:
You may stop, the world will go.
The sky is high, and the tide is low.
The world around you pitches and rolls,
And the stars don't care...

BRIDGE:
People starve, the Earth will die.
Families fight and everyone lies.
Don't you ever wish you could fly far away, for a day?

CHORUS:
You may stop, the world will go.
The sky is high, and the tide is low.
The world around you pitches and rolls,
And the stars don't care...
