Tell me why there's so much pain today
Taking lives is for their grain, or so they say
I can't believe it but they feel this way
And that's the way of the world

Tell me why it takes a tragedy to see
To wake us up, and bring us down to our knees
All the people suffering with disease
And that's the way, that's the way
That's the weight of the world

As the world crashes down, heaven's looking better everyday
As the sun burns the ground, there's gotta be another way
Is our God looking down, and does he feel everybody's pain
As the world crashes down, Heaven's looking better everyday

Teach the children what it means to love
Show them, why now, we can never give enough
Let's work together, we can rise above
And change the ways, change the ways
Change the ways of the world

As the world crashes down, heaven's looking better everyday
As the sun burns the ground, there's gotta be another way
Is our God looking down, and does he feel everybody's pain
As the world crashes down, Heaven's looking better everyday

As the world crashes down, heaven's looking better everyday
As the sun burns the ground, there's gotta be another way
Is our God looking down, and does he feel everybody's pain
As the world crashes down, Heaven's looking better everyday

As the world crashes down, heaven's looking better everyday
As the sun burns the ground, there's gotta be another way
Is our God looking down, and does he feel everybody's pain
As the world crashes down, Heaven's looking better everyday

Heaven's lookin' better now, Heaven's lookin' better now
Heaven's lookin' better now, Heaven's lookin' better
