There's a hole in the world tonight.

there's a cloud of fear and sorrow.

there's a hole in the world tonight.

don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

They say that anger is just love disappointed.

they say that love is just a state of mind.

but all this fighting over who is anointed,

oh, how can people be so blind?

There's a hole in the world tonight.

there's a cloud of fear and sorrow.

there's a hole in the world tonight.

don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

Oh, they tell me there's a place over yonder

cool water running through the burning sand.

until we learn to love one another,

we will never reach the promised land.

There's a hole in the world tonight.

there's a cloud of fear and sorrow.

there's a hole in the world tonight.

don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

(there's a hole in the world tonight.)

they say that anger is just love disappointed.

(there's a cloud of fear and sorrow.)

they say that love is just a state of mind.

(there's a hole in the world tonight.)

but all this fighting over who will be anointed,

(don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.)

oh, how can people be so blind?

There's a hole in the world tonight.

(hole in the world)

there's a cloud of fear and sorrow.

(fear and sorrow)

there's a hole in the world tonight.

(ooooh)

don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow (repeat three times)
