You know, I was looking at the condition of the world the other day Seems there's too much killing, too much dying, too much pain I don't know about you, but I'm tired Tired of the same old sad song
Sittin' at the window of life Watching the world go by Seeing little brothers and sister With pain and fear in their eyes
Wishing I could take them And make them all my own Giving them hope and peace Instead of that same old sad song
I will sing unto you a new song A song about love and peace and joy For every man, girl, and boy And I'm tired of singing about the perils of this life Seems the world is only moaning and groaning With misery and strife
It's the same old sad song Yeah, yeah, yeah
Saw an old man on the street Hurting and so in need Wish I could take the whole world And place it at his feet
I wish I could change his world And give him a brand new talk Giving him health and joy Instead of that same old sad song
I will sing unto you a new song A song about love and peace and joy For every man, girl, and boy And I'm tired about the perils of this life Seems the world is only moaning and groaning With misery and strife
It's the same old sad song Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I will sing a new song A song for the whole world to see I will lift my voice and cry out Telling them that you're all they need
Give them hope, joy, peace A little understanding That will never, ever fade I will sing a new song A song for the whole world to see Hey, yeah
Just give him your burdens Then you can sing a new song Give God your problems And you will sing a new song Give him your heartaches You will sing a new song Give God your Trials Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's the same old sad song Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
