Heartbreaking World

(difford/holland)



The saddest thing i've ever seen

Was a starving face on my tv screen

The desperate face that i saw

Had my disbelief hanging from my jaw

Our harvest could be shared around

Instead it's buried in the ground

The saddest thing i've ever seen

Was a football fan dying for his team

The toughest thing i have ever known

Was a soldier boy who never made it home

It's fiction live before our eyes

It leaves me cold and my heart cries



The greatest thing i've ever seen

Was a newborn child looking up at me

The greatest sound i've ever heard

Was a baby's cry in this wicked world

The innocence of that cry

Leaves me cold and my heart cries



It's a heartbreaking world if you want it to be

It's a heartbreaking world if you want it to be

It's a heartbreaking world if you want it to be

And you're the one that breaks it for me
