Careless words, indiscretions
We don't learn the simplest lessons
Reaching out blind with anger
Missing out on things that matter
God looking down on the world we've become
Forgive us now
One by one
We look for light we seek a lantern
We look for love and search the heavens
We seek the truth we feel so helpless
To hear the words only He can tell us
God looking down on the world we've become
Forgive us now
One by one
We offer a handful of sorrow for a heart full of pain
Then we close our eyes and promise that it won't happen again
God looking down on the world we've become
Forgive us now
One by one
