Homemade World

lyrics

o!, I can't believe the looks on their faces
when they finally saw relief
o!, half the people were so excited
while the other half were at peace
o! that's only cause they finally saw the light
and the half gave up the fight

have you found your heart
I seem to have lost mine
In some other space and time
Maybe we were just pulling
on it a little bit to hard
well God just left his calling card
and said 'so long children
I'm giving myself a break'
I kinda always knew he was a fake

so you implode, and I'll explode
and together we'll make perfect harmony
put together mountains and fill in seas
then we'll add life, add the birds and bees
lie in the grass watch time pass
from young to old in the heat and cold
leave this feeling out in the snow
we'll never know, we'll never know
the water and the dirt and the wind blows your skirt
as you dance around our new world
sing along, but not to this song
it's a big wild world and somethings bound to go wrong
just point it out, and then wait and see
and when God comes back then we'll just flee
so you implode and I'll explode
and together we'll make perfect harmony

and for the first time we'll
build it for what it's worth
and for the first time we'll
learn what it's like not to fall
even though we came up short
even though we stood to tall
it was beautiful
cause even with the slightest brush of your nose
it sends a shock to my toes
it was beautiful
I promise I will wipe the tears from your face
I promise I will not fall from grace
anymore
anymore, no

so you implode, and I'll explode
and together we'll make perfect harmony
put together mountains and fill in seas
then we'll add life, add the birds and bees
lie in the grass watch time pass
from young to old in the heat and cold
leave this feeling out in the snow
we'll never know, we'll never know
the water and the dirt and the wind blows your skirt
as you dance around our new world
sing along, but not to this song
it's a big wild world and somethings bound to go wrong
just point it out, and then wait and see
and when God comes back then we'll just flee
so you implode and I'll explode
and together we'll make perfect harmony
