Oh, the cure is here, right now
Can you lend me your ears?
As I gaze upon the ocean, yeah
We ask BP why, oh why
Volcanoes in the Iceland, oh
No planes allowed to fly, oh why
Look at all the politicians
Telling their lies, their own lies
This isn't just me speaking
It's the world speaking for us

Do you see us crying?
Hear us crying?
Come dry your tears away
And if you're trying, keep on trying
To make a brighter day, brighter day

The riots hit in Cairo
Until freedom rings, oh
Now they're battling in Libya
Where it turns out the same, yeah
9.1 on the Richter scale, oh
The biggest quake to date, oh
Lost control of radiation, oh
Now the world's at stake

So do you hear us crying?
See us crying?
Come dry your tears away
And if you're trying, keep on trying
To make a brighter day, a brighter day

So people pay attention, eh
To hard signs available now
Seems you're on a mission
To destroy what they built, yeah
Knowledge is the answer
To your questions of how, oh
Let's preserve our future
And start right now

Do you hear us crying?
See us crying?
Come dry your tears away
And if you're trying, keep on trying
To make a brighter day, a brighter day
Try to make a brighter day, brighter day
