I stood in the room when the light in her eyes dimmed
Forever it faded and burned out, invaded
I sat by the bed with his hand in my hand
It fell and it went limp, breathlessly leaving our world
You think that I'm dumb, that I'm too young to know such things
But what have I done? I've had to handle everything
You think that I'm one whose absent in the pageantry
But I could heal your world

Your world is dirty
Your world is burning
Your world is hurting for me

A million dark faces, burned hands in embraces,
all falling to places where you could never come back
My heart was freezing, my mind disbelieving, they went
down so easy, pleading, fleeing from our world

You think that I'm dumb, that I'm too young to know such things
But look what I've done I have to handle everything
You think that I'm one whose absent in the pageantry
But I could heal your world

Your world is dirty
Your world is burning
Your world is hurting for me

You think that I'm not brave,
that I'm too young to know such things
You think that I'd cave, that I can't handle anything
If only I had saved a piece of what I used to love
Then I could heal your world

Your world is dirty
Your world is burning
Your world is yearning
Your world is hurting for me
