Lonely Planet Lyrics - Singles - The The

Planet Earth is slowing down 

Overseas, underground 

Wherever you look around 

Lord, take me by the hand 

Lead me through these desert sands 

To the shores of a promised land 

You make me start when you look into my heart 

And see me for who I really am 

If you can't change your world, change yourself 

If you can't change your world, change yourself 

If you can't change your world, change yourself 

If you can't change your world, change yourself 

I didn't care if the sun didn't shine 

And the rain didn't fall from the sky 

I just cared about myself 

From this world to the next 

And from the next back to this 

By our actions we are bound 

We're running out of love 

Running out of hate 

Running out of space for the human race 

Planet Earth is slowing down 

You make me cry when you look into my eyes 

And see me for who I really am 

If you can't change your world, change yourself 

If you can't change your world, change yourself 

If you can't change your world, change yourself 

If you can't change your world, change yourself 

If you can't change your world, change yourself 

If you can't change your world, change yourself 

If you can't change your world, change yourself 

And if you can't change yourself then change your world 

I'm in love with the planet I'm standing on 

I can't stop, I can't stop thinking of 

All the people I've ever loved 

All the people I have lost 

All the people I'll never know 

All the feelings I've never shown. 

The world's too big and life's too short 

The world's too big and life's too short 

The world's too big and life's too short 

To be alone, to be alone
