There's a hole in the world tonight.
there's a cloud of fear and sorrow.
there's a hole in the world tonight.
don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.
They say that anger is just love disappointed.
they say that love is just a state of mind.
but all this fighting over who is anointed,
oh, how can people be so blind?
There's a hole in the world tonight.
there's a cloud of fear and sorrow.
there's a hole in the world tonight.
don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.
Oh, they tell me there's a place over yonder
cool water running through the burning sand.
until we learn to love one another,
we will never reach the promised land.
There's a hole in the world tonight.
there's a cloud of fear and sorrow.
there's a hole in the world tonight.
don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.
(there's a hole in the world tonight.)
they say that anger is just love disappointed.
(there's a cloud of fear and sorrow.)
they say that love is just a state of mind.
(there's a hole in the world tonight.)
but all this fighting over who will be anointed,
(don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.)
oh, how can people be so blind?
There's a hole in the world tonight.
(hole in the world)
there's a cloud of fear and sorrow.
(fear and sorrow)
there's a hole in the world tonight.
(ooooh)
don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow (repeat three times)
