The churches have failed me
But I've found God
And as of my lover
We obey no laws
But we can't have each other
For the world she is sad
So I'll pick up and fight for this love we had

The world, she ain't broken
She just feels abused
Battered and knocked down
And torn between two
Men who are no good
So she'll keep moving on
She has the world to live when all men are gone

So I send her praises
From up on high
Blowing her kisses
From this, my long goodbye
I've cut my heartstrings
It's sad but it's true
My girl, my world, I'll always love you

Stuck with my demons
Keep pressin' me on
Cut a bold passing
They singin' their songs
But until Death comes for me
You know that I'll be alone
Picking up pieces of this world gone wrong

So I'll send her praises
From up on high
Blowing her kisses
From this, our long decline
I've cut my heartstrings
It's sad but it's true
My girl, my world, I'll always love you
My girl, my world, I'll always love you
