The World I Know Lyrics By Collective Soul

    has our conscience shown
    has the sweet breeze blown
    has all kindness gone
    hope still lingers on

    pre
    i drink myself of new found pity
    sittin’ alone in new york city
    and i don’t know why

    are we listening
    hymns of offering
    have we eyes to see
    love is gathering

    pre
    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 laughed at myself
    while the tears rolled down
    ’cause it’s the world i know
    oh it’s the world i know

    pre
    i drink myself of newfound pity
    sitting 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 laughed at myself
    while the tears rolled down
    ’cause it’s the world i have known
    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 laughed at myself
    while the tears rolled down
    ’cause it’s the world i have known
    oh it’s the world i know
