Crazy Place
Esm?e Denters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A homeless child playing with something as simple as a cardboard box and he seems so happy
With that smile on his face like nothing matters he?s so serene
When he doesn?t even know if he?s gonna live through another day worrying about what he?s gonna eat
when I look at that it kinda makes me feel guilty
Cause the world that I?m living in only seems to care about having enough money
To buy luxurious things that we don?t even need
(Chorus)
Isn't it a shame, but we only have ourselves to blame
But love is the most beautiful thing
But its a lost somewhere along the way to money and fame ( to money and fame)
Isn?t the world a crazy place?
we were all brought up with different dreams and beliefs
But the one thing we all need is to be loved by friends and family
And when a child like that with no parents around is able to smile makes me feel very weak, small, and vulnerable
when I look at that it kinda makes me feel guilty cause the world that I?m living in only seems to care about having enough money, to buy luxurious things that we don?t even need
I'm not trying to be the good girl to save the world cause I do the same damn thing
(chorus)
Isn't it a shame, but we only have ourselves to blame
But love is the most beautiful thing
But its a lost somewhere along the way to money and fame (to money and fame)
Isn?t the world a crazy place?
it makes me conscious of all of the things I have and makes me feel oh so fast
It makes me want to follow my dreams
And tries to be a better person
It takes me to a higher level
It makes me wipe away all? a my tears
It helps me put a smile on my face
Cause everything I need is right here?
isn't it a shame, but we only have ourselves to blame
But love is the most beautiful thing
But it?s a lost somewhere along the way to money and fame ( to money and fame),
isn't it a shame, but we only have ourselves to blame
But love is the most beautiful thing
But its a lost somewhere along the way to money and fame
Isn?t the world a crazy place ( isn?t the world, .. isn?t the world..)
