When the sky falls
And dreams come crashing down
When the moment's gone
And screams are the only sound

When horror unfolds
And washes away your life
When we're singing songs
And your babies are starving tonight

[CHORUS begin]
I'm sorry.. for my.. ignorance
I'm sorry.. I could not help
I'm sorry.. I could not feel your pain
I'm sorry.. I left you by yourself again
[CHORUS end]

I'm soooorry
I'm soooorry

Oh, this life needs some love
Oh, this world needs some love
And we are together on this earth
All the races, together for good

Let's walk together on this path
Let's help each other, not turn away
Let's start over, as one world
Reach out to the other, with all our love

[Repeat CHORUS]

I'm soooorry
I'm soooorry
