A WORLD GONE CRAZY
Roots Reggae / Soul — Emotional Female Vocals
VERSE 1
I wake up in the morning, but my soul don't feel the light,
Got a thousand different worries running circles through my mind.
There's a war outside my window, there's a war inside my head,
So many words left unspoken, so many tears I never shed.
Everybody's chasing money, everybody wants to win,
But tell me, who's protecting all the broken souls within?
I put a smile upon my face so nobody can see,
The silent little battles that are taking over me.
PRE-CHORUS
Oh, sometimes I feel like running,
Sometimes I cannot breathe,
The weight of this world is heavy,
And there's no place left for me.
But somewhere in the silence,
There's a little voice inside,
Saying, hold on to your spirit,
You don't have to lose your light.
CHORUS
This world gone crazy, crazy, crazy,
And my mind won't let me sleep.
So much pain and devastation,
So many promises they don't keep.
Depression knocking at my doorway,
Anxiety won't set me free.
Lord, I'm searching for some peace now,
Can somebody hear me?
Oh, this world gone crazy, crazy, crazy,
But there's still a little hope in me.
VERSE 2
Children crying in the distance, mothers praying through the night,
Leaders talking about power while the innocent lose their lives.
Brother fighting against brother, hatred spreading like a flame,
Tell me, when did love become a weakness, when did kindness bring us shame?
I turn the television off, but the fear is still around,
Even when the room is quiet, I can hear that anxious sound.
Sometimes getting out of bed feels like climbing up a hill,
But I'm breathing through the darkness, and I'm learning to be still.
PRE-CHORUS
Oh, sometimes I feel like running,
Sometimes I cannot breathe,
The weight of this world is heavy,
And there's no place left for me.
But somewhere in the silence,
There's a little voice inside,
Saying, hold on to your spirit,
You don't have to lose your light.
CHORUS
This world gone crazy, crazy, crazy,
And my mind won't let me sleep.
So much pain and devastation,
So many promises they don't keep.
Depression knocking at my doorway,
Anxiety won't set me free.
Lord, I'm searching for some peace now,
Can somebody hear me?
Oh, this world gone crazy, crazy, crazy,
But there's still a little hope in me.
BRIDGE — SOULFUL, EMOTIONAL VOCALS
I am more than all my sadness,
I am more than all my fears.
I have walked through storms in silence,
I have washed away my tears.
To the people who are hurting,
To the ones who feel alone,
May you find a little comfort,
May your heart find its way home.
One love, one heart, one humanity,
We need more love and less insanity.
Put down the weapons, let the children be free,
A peaceful world is what we need.
FINAL CHORUS — POWERFUL VOCALS AND HARMONIES
This world gone crazy, crazy, crazy,
But we don't have to lose our way.
We can choose to love each other,
We can bring a brighter day.
Depression knocking at my doorway,
Anxiety still calls my name.
But I'll keep on searching for my peace now,
I won't let the darkness win the game.
Oh, this world gone crazy, crazy, crazy,
But there's still a little hope in me.
If we stand together in love and unity,
Maybe one day we'll be free.
OUTRO — REGGAE DUB FADE
Easy now… breathe in, breathe out…
Even in the darkness, let your light shine out.
Jah, give us strength when the road gets rough,
Give us love when the world gets tough.
Though my heart feels weary and my eyes see pain,
I will rise with the morning and try again.
This world gone crazy…
But my soul still sings.
Somewhere beyond the sorrow,
Love can change everything.
One love… one heart…
Let the healing start.
Oh, this world gone crazy…
But there's still a little hope in me.
One love… one heart…
Let the healing start…
