Many believe we're on the brink
The ship we sail is bound to sink
A hole's opened up we cannot fix
It sprung from greed and politics

The world is moving way too fast
For peace and love to really last
When hearts are filled with suspicion
Then hate and fear will always win

(Chorus)
When it all falls down
Will we pick it up?
Will we have the strength
To build it up?
Can we get back to
A better place?
Can we stop it now
And end this race?


The crisis in the middle east
When will the fighting ever cease?
The Russian failed democracy
Back to lies and hypocrisy

Are children safe to go to school
With armed policemen now the rule?
Facebook, Twitter were full of hope
Now used to bully, what a joke

(Chorus)
When it all falls down
Will we pick it up?
Will we have the strength
To build it up?
Can we get back to
A better place?
Can we stop it now
And end this race?


North Korea wants some nukes
Their crazy leader makes me puke
White House led by Donald Trump?
I'm at the ledge about to jump

We need a voice to save us all
To get Humpty down from the wall
It's only then we fix this ship
So we can all enjoy the trip

(Chorus)
When it all falls down
Will we pick it up?
Will we have the strength
To build it up?
Can we get back to
A better place?
Can we stop it now
And end this race?
