Lyrics and translation
Original
I lie awake sometimes with it on my mind
The first of creations were day and night and
So the Lord said, "Let there be light," and
In his image, he gave us life, yes
And where he should lead, I will follow
He offers me ease for my sorrows
Forgive us for the fuss and fighting
It brings tears to my eyes when we can't agree
The world needs peace, needs patience (needs patience)
Can't you see the world needs changing now?
Can't you see the world needs saving now?
Where is the love? (Love)
And the world so mean, good gracious (good gracious)
Lord, send me some good vibrations now
Help me to unite these nations now
Where is the love? (Love)
Attention
Attention
It's obvious, it's you I miss
It's you who should be mine
And I confess, it's true, I wish
I could go back in time
I'm still in love, he gets me higher
A fuckin' womanizer
Tears in my eyes tonight
Inside I cry, desire
And I could die a thousand times
A thousand ways
A thousand lives
If you would be in the next life too
Though I may wear my crucifix
I've sinned a time or two
Forgive me for my foolishness
'Cause if I only knew
I'd cross my heart, I'd hope to die, yeah
Please don't be a fuckin' liar
Tears in my eyes tonight
Inside I cry, desire
And I could die a thousand times (could die a thousand times)
A thousand ways (a thousand ways)
A thousand lives
If you would be in the next life too
