Tell me why this world is a mess, I thought you always tried your best
Tell me what I'm ought to do, maybe you should do it too
Tell me why they're sleeping alone, no house nowhere to call a home
Tell me what I'm meant to see, won't you stop preaching at me?
And I wanna see what it's all about
and I wanna live, wanna give something back
Don't tell me that it's over, it's only just begun
Don't tell me that it's over or that this song is sung, this song is sung
All the money in the world would never set all the wrongs to right
All the fire in the world would never set my heart alight
I dream of a day when it's all gone away and the sun is shining bright
I dream of a day when it's all gone away but dreams are for night
And I wanna see what it's all about
and I wanna live, wanna give something back
Don't tell me that it's over, it's only just begun
Don't tell me that it's over or that this song is sung, this song is sung
Don't tell me that it's over please I'm on my knees, I'm begging you to stop
It's over please I'm on my knees, I'm begging you to stop
And I wanna see what it's all about
and I wanna live, wanna give something back
Don't tell me that it's over, it's only just begun
Don't tell me that it's over or that this song is sung, this song is sung
Tell me what I'm ought to do, maybe you should do it too
Tell me why they're sleeping alone, no house nowhere to call a home
Tell me what I'm meant to see, won't you stop preaching at me?
And I wanna see what it's all about
and I wanna live, wanna give something back
Don't tell me that it's over, it's only just begun
Don't tell me that it's over or that this song is sung, this song is sung
All the money in the world would never set all the wrongs to right
All the fire in the world would never set my heart alight
I dream of a day when it's all gone away and the sun is shining bright
I dream of a day when it's all gone away but dreams are for night
And I wanna see what it's all about
and I wanna live, wanna give something back
Don't tell me that it's over, it's only just begun
Don't tell me that it's over or that this song is sung, this song is sung
Don't tell me that it's over please I'm on my knees, I'm begging you to stop
It's over please I'm on my knees, I'm begging you to stop
And I wanna see what it's all about
and I wanna live, wanna give something back
Don't tell me that it's over, it's only just begun
Don't tell me that it's over or that this song is sung, this song is sung
