Sanity for the world, 
I feel it deep down in my soul
When I think about all the things we're going through
So much misery and sadness, so much pain
It's just insane, 
I'm telling you
Over in Europe and 
Asia, the violence is contagious
What about 
Africa?People starving, they got no food
So much hate so much grief, so much jealously
Said it makes you wanna cry, cry, cry
Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry
Oh, tears for the world
I'm boo hoo, in tears for the world
There's go to be something we can do
When I think about all the lies that's been told
All the slaves that's been sold
Children robbed of the gift of life
Oh, it just ain't right
North and south 
AmericaShoot outs in the schools
In Australia people are struggling to survive
Everywhere there's earthquakes, 
KatherinaTornadoes, fires
It only makes you wanna cry, cry, cry
Tears for the world
Old caps are melting in the 
Antarctica
The water is rising
One day it's hot, next day it's cold
Everybody sing
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on the world, 
LordHave mercy, have mercy, have mercy on the world, 
LordSoldiers laying down their lives so we can be free
But who cries for them if not you and me
Shed some tears for the world for all the children
Who have nothing to eat, no place to sleep
No mother, no father, no sister, no brothers
It makes you wanna cry, cry, cry, cry
Oh, it makes you wanna cry, cry, cry
Tears for the world
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy on the world, 
LordHave mercy, have mercy, have mercy on the world, 
LordHave mercy, have mercy, have mercy on the world, 
LordHave mercy, have mercy, have mercy on the world, 
LordHave mercy, have mercy, have mercy on the world, 
LordHave mercy, have mercy, have mercy on the world, 
LordHave mercy, have mercy, have mercy on the world, 
LordHave mercy, have mercy, have mercy on the world, 
Lord
