If you take the tears from crying eyes   Will the hurt just disappear?   Put a weapon in the hands of a frightened man   Will he show no fear?      So we stand and we watch as the city lights   Go out one by one   Mother Nature sits on the other side   With a loaded gun      Why is there blue sky? Why is there red sky?   Now's the time to ask the reason   Should the blue sky meet the red sky?   Should the rules have to change at all?      We all know whatever they say   Time is on our side   Ooh, this world has been here before   Just going round and round      We all agree as far as we can see   It's just the way of the world   That's how it's meant to be   There's right and there's wrong   There's weak, oh and there's strong   It's just the way of the world   And that's how it's meant to be      Take the motion from the spinning wheel   And watch it stop   Take the danger out of a naked flame   And what have you got?      If you take the anger out of a broken heart   You feel no pain   Could you swear if you had that second chance   You wouldn't do it again      Why is there blue sky? Why is there red sky?   Now's the time to ask the reason   Should the blue sky meet the red sky?   Should the rules have to change at all?      We all know whatever they say   Time is on our side   This world has been here before   Just going round and round      We all agree as far as we can see   It's just the way of the world   That's how it's meant to be   There's right and there's wrong   There's weak, oh and there's strong   'Cause it's just the way of the world   That's how it's meant to be      We all agree as far as we can see   It's just the way of the world   That's how it's meant to be   There's right and there's wrong   There's weak, oh and there's strong   It's just the way of the world   And that's how it's meant to be      We all agree as far as we can see   It's just the way of the world   That's how it's meant to be
