There's a hole in the world tonight

There's a cloud of fear and sorrow

There's a hole in the world tonight

Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow

They say that anger is just love disappointed

They say that love is just a state of mind.

But all this fighting over who is anointed,

Oh, how can people be so blind?

There's a hole in the world tonight

There's a cloud of fear and sorrow

There's a hole in the world toniight

Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow

Oh, they tell me there's a place over yonder

Cool water running through the burning sand

Until we learn to love one another,

We will never reach the Promised Land

There's a hole in the world tonight,

There's a cloud of fear and sorrow

There's a hole in the world tonight

Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow

(There's a hole in the world tonight)

They say that anger is just love disappointed

(There's a cloud of fear and sorrow)

They say that love is just a state of mind

(There's a hole in the world tonight)

But all this fighting over who will be anointed

(Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow)

Oh, how can people be so blind?

There's a hole in the world tonight

(Hole in the world)

There's a cloud of fear and sorrow

(Fear and sorrow)

There's a hole in the world tonight

(Ooooh)

Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow
