make the sadness go away
come back another day
for years i've tried to teach
but their eyes are empty
empty too i have become
for them i must di e
a sad and troubled race
an ungrateful troubled place
(chorus)
i see the sadness in their eyes
melancholy in their cries
devoid of all the passion
the human spirit cannot di e
look at the pain around me
this is what i cry for
look at the pain around me
this is what i'll di e for
make the sadness go away
come back another day
the things i've said and done
don't matter to anyone
but still, you push me to see
something, i can never be
why am i their shattered king?
i don't mean anything
i see the sadness in their eyes
melancholy in their cries
devoid of all the passion
the human spirit cannot di e
look at the pain around me
this is what i cry for
look at the pain around me
this is what i'll di e for
