The whole world is crying tonight

Homeless people in paper houses
Only shadows of days gone by
Where is the hope in their eyes
Faith is failing and hopes are fading
Lifeless people whose dreams have died
Empty souls with nothing left inside

Tears are falling, tears are falling
The whole world is crying tonight
Crying for someone to bring them the light
Oh the whole world is crying tonight

Feel the pain of a wounded heart
Weak and weary and torn apart
A touch of love can heal a heart
Who can pick up the broken pieces
Who can make their life complete
Who will go to the outcast on the streets

For the tears of the world he died
The man of sorrow was crucified
His love can dry every tear
