A mother cries in Africa
Thirsty to her bones
Here in New York City
All you see are cellphones
A bomb goes off in London town
And echoes down in Spain
Here in New York City
Lots of folks in pain
I'm feeling so low
With the weight of this world
I really don't know
About the hate of this world
I wish that I could go
And just say to this world
It isn't too late to love
A child dies in India
But it don't make the news
I'm in New York City
Trying to paint with all these blues
An earthquake rattles Tokyo
And leaves an unclear stain
I'm in New York City
Just trying to make a train
I'm feeling so low
With the weight of this world
I really don't know
About the hate of this world
I wish that I could go
And just say to this world
It isn't too late to love
I'm feeling so low
With the weight of this world
I really don't know
About the fate of this world
I wish that I could go
And just say to this world
It isn't too late to love
A child cries in Jackson Heights
His daddy ain't around
She takes him in her arms and then
She takes him to the playground
He runs around the jungle gym
Soon she hears him laughing
She just wants to say to him
Baby, you can do anything
Be anything
I'm feeling so low
With the weight of this world
I really don't know
About the hate of this world
I wish that I could go
And just say to this world
It isn't too late to love
No, no
I'm feeling so low
With the weight of this world
I really don't know
About the fate of this world
I wish that I could go
And just say to this world
It isn't too late to love
No
It isn't too late to love
It isn't too late to love
It's not too late
World
It's not too late
It's not too late
It's not too late
