The World You Want

"The World You Want" is the fifth track on Switchfoot's ninth album, Fading West.

Lyrics
I’m picking up the pieces I’m trying out adhesives I’m trying to fix a place that feels broken

All my words they fail me My voices don’t avail me I’m trying to say the hope that’s unspoken

Is this the world you want? Is this the world you want? You’re making it Everyday you’re alive

Is this the world you want? Is this the world you want? You’re making it

The world feels so malicious With all our hits and misses Feels like we’re in the business of rust

It’s when I stop to listen All the moments I’ve been missing I finally hear a voice I can trust

Everyday you’re alive You change the world Everyday you’re alive Honey, you change the world You change my world

You start to look like what you believe We float through time like a stream But the waters of time Are made up by you and I If you change the world for you, you change it for me

What you say is your religion How you say it’s your religion Who you love is your religion How you love is your religion All your science your religion All your hatred your religion All your wars are your religion Every breath is your religion

Your religion
