The world as I know it
Would never ever spin again

If not for dark
I couldn't recognize a spark
If not for evil
The kind man would walk on by invisible

If not for the devil
How could mother Mary play the hero
If not for bad stuff
The good would never be enough

If not for loneliness
A friend is somewhere in the wilderness
If our love was ever to part ways then
The world as I know it
Would never ever spin again

If there's no words of violence
The kind whisper screams a sonic silence
If not for fear
A hope is nowhere near

If not for rain
The sun would never split the skies again
If in doomed waters we should tread
Fear not, our rescue's only up ahead

If not for loneliness
A friend is somewhere in the wilderness
If our love was ever to part ways then
The world as I know it
Would never ever spin again
Never ever spin again

I'm on the road to somewhere
You're on the road to somewhere
We're on the road to somewhere

If not for rain
The sun would never split the skies again
If in doomed waters we should treat
Fear not, our rescue's only up ahead

If not for bobby crying blue on blue
Joy would carry on the stranger I once knew
If not for fear
A hope is nowhere near

If not for loneliness
A friend is somewhere in the wilderness
If our love was ever to part ways then
The world as I know it
Would never ever spin

If not for loneliness
A friend is somewhere in the wilderness
If our love was ever to part ways then
The world as I know it
Would never ever spin again
