world cry

living in your shadow

but yet the sun won't shine your way

i can feel your sorrow

it turns into your pain

they say it's not in vain

to the children of the corner

going hungry everyday

when nobody asked to be here

they just want to play

it makes me want to say

la di da da da da

la di da da da da

la di da da da da

la di da da da

yeah i hate to see the whole world cry

yeah i hate to see the whole world cry

if it was up to me

i would wipe them from your eye

i hate to see the world cry

they spend up all our money

all the rockets in the sky

when they don't have a reason

that generate a lie

for the strength that's from the time

there's an ordinary city

from compton to mobay

when they don't ask to be here

since them fall away

makes them want to stay

and i said

la di da da da da

la di da da da da

la di da da da

and i hate to see the whole world cry

yeah i hate to see the whole world cry

if it was up to me

i would wipe them from your eye

hate to see the whole world cry

looking in the mirror

sinking in my peace

everyday is a constant battle

between what's wrong and right

i just want to live my life

i pray it's for the future

is that we learn from our mistakes

halfway into destruction

but it's not too late

too late to make a change

so i'll say

la di da da da da

la di da da da da

la di da da da

and i hate to see the whole world cry

yeah i hate to see the whole world cry

if it was up to me

i would wipe them from your eyes

i hate to see the whole world cry

i don't want to see you cry

i don't want to see you cry

somebody help me understand

everybody got a plan
