When The World Was Woken Lyrics - Barclay James Harvest

When the world was woken 

Save all unknowing eyes 

And thoughts that once were spoken 

Left only to despise 

And when the dawn is breaking 

Look upward to the sky 

If life is so hard to live 

Why not die? 

When the world has woken 

And shadows leave the air 

Then each spell will be broken 

For everyone who cares 

The day will then be endless 

The night will soon pass by 

If life is so hard to live 

Why not die? 

When the world has woken 

For all who see the sun 

And gentle words are spoken 

The dawning has begun 

Then man can live together 

With one triumphant cry 

If life is so hard to live 

Why not die?
