World Songtext
von James Brown

Tell me, tell me, tell me
That all the hearts make up
And let everybody
Drink from that silver cup

Tell me
If the truth can′t succeed
Then people, we're lost
Because hope
Is just too far away

That all the good work
Of many, many good men
Will sink, go down
Will sink, go down
By the dock of the bay
Get lost, go down
If the truth can′t succeed
Tell me


World, don't be so cruel
Where's the love we missed?
Because we can′t go on like this
Because we can′t go on like this
We can't go on like this
We can′t go on like this
Now tell me

Tell me where's the love?
Oh, tell me where′s the love we missed now?

If the truth can't succeed
Then we are lost
Because hope
Will be just too far away

That all the good work
Many, many good men
Will sink by the dock of the bay
Go down, go down, go down, yeah
Go down
Way down, way down
Yeah, way down

Where′s the love we missed?
World, world
Can't go on like this
World, everybody, everybody, world
I never thought a good man would ever, ever, ever, ever, ever fail
And let this wonderful world be lost
