will the hurt just disappear
 put a weapon in the hand of a frightened man
 will he show no fear
 so we stand and we watch while the city lights go out one by one
 Mother Nature sits on the other side with a loaded gun

 Why is there blue sky
 why is there red sky,
 now's the time to
 ask the reason,
 should the blue sky,
 meet the red sky
 should the rules have to change at all
 we all know whatever they say,
 time is on our side
 This world has been here
 before just going round and
 round and round

 We all agree as far as we can see
 It's just the way of the world,
 that's how it's meant to be
 There's right and there's wrong
 There's weak and there's strong
 It's just the way of the world
 and that's how it's meant to be

 Take the motion from a
 spinning wheel and watch it stop
 Take the danger out of a
 naked flame and what have you got
 If you take the anger out of a broken heart,
 you feel no pain
 Could you swear if you had that second
 chance you wouldn't do it again.

 Why is there blue sky
 why is there red sky,
 now's the time to ask the reason,
 should the blue sky,
 meet the red sky
 should the rules have to change at all
 we all know whatever they say,
 time is on our side
 This world has been here
 before just going round and
 round and round

 We all agree as far as we can see
 It's just the way of the world,
 that's how it's meant to be
 There's right and there's wrong
 There's weak and there's strong
 It's just the way of the world
 and that's how it's meant to be
