Check it down
He tried to say
As he wiped his eyes
He'd hoped to never see this day
When all we have
Is the smoking ash
The sad remains of old L.A.
And then he smiled
And said you listen boy
There's only so much you can do
You've got to put aside
What's been going wrong
And just sing a song -- Sing a song
,,, And he walked away, yeah
I ran alone through a town gone mad
Never felt so good about the load I had to bear
More than just my city's burned
But someday soon we'd better learn
To take the pain and not despair
But don't you try (Don't you try)
To understand it
Oh, you won't live that long (Live that long)
But when you try
To undertake it
Go on and sing a song
Sing a song for the whole world
Sing a song for you and me (Sing a song for you and me)
Sing a song for the whole world (Oh won't you sing it to me, yeah)
Go on ... Sing a song
Sing a song for the whole world
Sing a song for you and me (Oh, sing a song)
Sing a song for the whole world (Ooh)
Go on ... Sing a song
Sing a song for the whole world (Oh won't you sing me)
Sing a song for you and me (Sing a song)
Sing a song for the whole world (Whoo-oh!)
Go on ... Sing a song
Sing a song for the whole world
Sing a song for you and me (Sing a song)
Sing a song for the whole world (Whoo-oh!)
Go on ... Sing a song
Sing a song for the whole world
Sing a song for you and me (Sing a song)
Sing a song for the whole world (Whoo-oh!)
