Genesis - Way of the World lyrics

[Genesis - Way of the World lyrics]

If you take the tears from crying eyes
Will the hurt just disappear?
Put a weapon in the hand of a frightened man
Will he show no fear?
So we stand and we watch while the
City lights go out one by one
Mother Nature sit's on the other
Side with a loaded gun

Why is there blue sky, why is there red sky?
Now's the time to ask the reason
Should the blue sky, meet the red sky?
Should the rules have to change at all?

We all know whatever they say
Time is on our side
This world has been here before
Just going round and round

We all agree as far as we can see
It's just the way of the world
That's how it's meant to be

There's right and there's wrong
There's weak and there's strong

It's just the way of the world
And that's how it's meant to be
Take the motion from a spinning wheel
And watch it stop
Take the danger out of a naked flame
And what have you got
If you take the anger out of a broken heart
You feel no pain could you swear if you
Had that second chance
You wouldn't do it again

Why is there blue sky, why is there red sky?
Now's the time to ask the reason
Should the blue sky, meet the red sky?
Should the rules have to change at all?

We all know whatever they say
Time is on our side
This world has been here before
Just going round and round (Round and round)

We all agree as far as we can see
It's just the way of the world
That's how it's meant to be

There's right and there's wrong
There's weak and there's strong

It's just the way of the world
And that's how it's meant to be

We all agree as far as we can see
It's just the way of the world
That's how it's meant to be

There's right and there's wrong
There's weak and there's strong

It's just the way of the world
And that's how it's meant to be
