MISSY HIGGINS lyrics : "World Gone Mad"

Standing on the roof my daddy built
Looking at the rising of the silt
Everything I ever loved is underneath

But what the river wants, the river keeps

I used to believe in fortune

And that in the hands of God
Everybody gets no more than they deserve


But the more I see the less I understand
Watching as the water swallows the land
I'm starting to believe there was never a plan

That the world's gone mad

Something's out of order, out of place

Nothing we were taught is happening today
If you are the maker watching down
What a mess you're making on this town


I used to believe in fate
And the will of karma

I used to believe in the way the penny dropped

But the more I see the less I understand

Watching as the water swallows the land
I'm starting to believe there was never a plan
That the world's gone mad


I will not leave
I will not leave

No, I will not leave
'Til the water takes me


'Cause the more I see the less I understand
Watching as the water swallows my land
I'm starting to believe there was never a plan

That the world's gone mad

The more I see the less I understand

Watching as the water swallows the land
I'm starting to believe there was never a plan
That the world's gone mad
