Tell me a different story
Show me the proper news
When did the lies become the truth?
Mother I know you worry
Brother we're all confused
If pain is a part of life
Then sooner or later we're all gonna lose
Whatever happened to the pretty words we said?
What are we trying to forget?
Heaven can you hear me?
Cause I can't hear myself
I gotta get out of this hell
Hallelujah
Heaven I can't see clearly
The word's a paper moon
I wanna be closer to you
Enter a new world order
This place in time
It's truly the blind that lead the blind
Mother I know you're weary
Brother we're all concerned
The question again my friend
Is how to move on if we don't ever learn
Whatever happened to the pretty plans we made?
Are we too lost to be saved?
Heaven can you hear me?
Cause I can't hear myself
I gotta get out of this hell
Hallelujah
Heaven I can't see clearly
The word's a paper moon
I wanna be closer to you
Heaven please
Have mercy
If you're out there somewhere
Talk to me
Show me how
Save me now
Heaven can you hear me?
Cause I can't hear myself
I gotta get out of this hell
Hallelujah
Heaven I can't see clearly
The word's a paper moon
I wanna be closer to you
(2x)
