What If It's Too Late

Couldn't keep my eyes closed
I couldn't turn my thoughts off
Look what we've done to the art of God
The news is such a sad state of affairs
What is there to believe in?
What's going on with the world
I'm afraid it's on the verge of ending
And people are hurt so let them be heard
What a shame nobody is listening

The sky blackens over us as darkness takes control
Fire is catching tonight, the satellite images show
Deaths in this land will spread quicker than babies grow
And we are all cut up about it but we must be lying

Cause all we ever do is look the other way
While the world is turning upside down
We just let it slip and slide
Thinking we could negotiate with time, with time
What if it's too late and all we have is today?
What if it's too late?

Silence shuts me out
I couldn't shut my mouth
Please let me conversate
With all of the lost little kids
That were never found
Bad guys are taking lives on the street
Tell me, why do we let them get away with it?
As we toast to the villain of the piece
And put the blame on the innocents

Do you care?
No, we stand so still with a cold stare just to care less
Expecting the worse like driving a hearse
Forgetting how to hope for the best
You know, this is the kind of tragic true story that breaks my heart
But I'll search for you among the stars if that's where you are

Don't look the other way
While the world is turning upside down
Don't just let it slip and slide
Thinking we could negotiate with time, with time
What if it's too late and all we have is today?

What if it's too late to ask for forgiveness
For all of the evil we've done?
What are you going to say or do
Now that the damage is done?

So please don't look the other way
While the world is turning upside down
Don't just let it slip and slide
Cause we can't negotiate with time, with time
What if it's too late and all we have is today?
What if it's too late?
