Tell  me why the grass  was greener
Years  ago I swear  it used to grow  here
 But no more  here
Tell  me why on  this hill
All  the birds they used  to come to fly  here
 Come to die  here
 And tell  me why I need  to know
Sometimes  I wish I didn't  have to know
 All you've shown  me
Hey  world what  you say
Should  I stick around for another  day or two?
 Don't give up  on me, I won't  give up on you
 Just believe  in me, like I  believe in you
 Tell  me why on the corner
 All the kids that used to come to run here
 Load their guns here
 And tell  me why it's  okay
 To kill  in name of the gods  we pray
Tell  me who said it's  okay
 To die  in the name of the lies  we say
Tell  me why there's child  soldiers
Tell  me why they closed  the borders
Tell  me how to fight  disease and
Tell  me now, won't  you please?
 The only  thing I wanna  do
 Is to be  in the arms of someone
 Who believes  in me,  like I believe  in you
 ( )
 And I way hey world, what you say
 Should I stick around for another day?
 Hey world, what you say
 Should I stick around for another day?
 Hey world, what you say
 Should I stick around for another day or two?
 Don't give up on me, I won't give up
 And I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try, I try for you
 Don't give up on me
 And I cry, I cry, I cry, I cry, I cry, I cry, I cry, I cry for you
 Just believe in me like I believe
 Hey world, what you say?
 Hey world, what you say?
 Hey world, what you say?
 Should I stick around for another day?
 Hey world, what you say
 Should I stick around for another day or two?
 Don't give up on me, I won't give up on you
 Just believe in me, like I believe in you
 Don't give up on me
 Hey world, what you say?
 Hey world, what you say?
 Hey world, what you say?
 Hey world, what you say?
