Tell me why there's so much pain today

Taking lives is for their grain, or so they say

I can't believe it but they feel this way

And that's the way of the world

Tell me why it takes a tragedy to see

To wake us up, and bring us down to our knees

All the people suffering with disease

And that's the way, that's the way

That's the weight of the world

As the world crashes down, heaven's looking better everyday

As the sun burns the ground, there's gotta be another way

Is our God looking down, and does he feel everybody's pain

As the world crashes down, Heaven's looking better everyday

Teach the children what it means to love

Show them, why now, we can never give enough

Let's work together, we can rise above

And change the ways, change the ways

Change the ways of the world

As the world crashes down, heaven's looking better everyday

As the sun burns the ground, there's gotta be another way

Is our God looking down, and does he feel everybody's pain

As the world crashes down, Heaven's looking better everyday

As the world crashes down, heaven's looking better everyday

As the sun burns the ground, there's gotta be another way

Is our God looking down, and does he feel everybody's pain

As the world crashes down, Heaven's looking better everyday

As the world crashes down, heaven's looking better everyday

As the sun burns the ground, there's gotta be another way

Is our God looking down, and does he feel everybody's pain

As the world crashes down, Heaven's looking better everyday

Heaven's lookin' better now, Heaven's lookin' better now

Heaven's lookin' better now, Heaven's lookin' better
