The world as I know it

Would never ever spin again.

If not for dark

I couldn't recognize a spark

If not for evil

The kind man would walk on by invisible

If not for the devil

How could mother Mary play the hero

If not for bad stuff

The good would never be enough

If not for loneliness

A friend is somewhere in the wilderness

If our love was ever to part ways then

The world as I know it

Would never ever spin again

If there's no words of violence

The kind whisper screams a sonic silence

If not for fear

A hope is nowhere near

If not for rain

The sun would never split the skies again

If in doomed waters we should tread

Fear not, our rescue's only up ahead

If not for loneliness

A friend is somewhere in the wilderness

If our love was ever to part ways then

The world as I know it

Would never ever spin again

Never ever spin again

I'm on the road to somewhere

You're on the road to somewhere

We're on the road to somewhere

If not for rain

The sun would never split the skies again

If in doomed waters we should treat

Fear not, our rescue's only up ahead

If not for bobby crying blue on blue

Joy would carry on the stranger I once knew

If not for fear

A hope is nowhere near

If not for loneliness

A friend is somewhere in the wilderness

If our love was ever to part ways then

The world as I know it

Would never ever spin

If not for loneliness

A friend is somewhere in the wilderness

If our love was ever to part ways then

The world as I know it

Would never ever spin again
