Collective Soul The World That I Know Lyrics

The World That I Know Lyrics

Has our conscience shown?

Has the sweet 

breeze blown?

Has all
the 

kindness gone?

Hope still lingers on.

I drink myself 

of newfound pity

Sitting alone 

in New York City

And I
don't know why..

don't know why..



Are we listening

To
hymns of offering?

Have we eyes to see

That love is gathering?

All the words 

that I've been reading

Have now started 

the act of bleeding

Into one...into one..



So I walk up on
high

And I step 

to the edge

To see my world below.

And
I laugh 

at myself

While the tears 

roll down.

'Cause
it's 

the world that I know.

Oh it's 

the world that I
know.



I drink myself of 

newfound pity

Sitting alone


in New York City

And I don't know why..

don't know why..



So I walk up on high

And I step 

to the edge

To see
my world below.

And I laugh 

at myself

While the tears 

roll down.

'Cause it's 

the world that I know.

Oh it's 

the world that I know
