World Without Love
Guardian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

From sea to shining sea
The tide is high
And everyone’s running
There’s anger and aggression
A tragedy of selfish ambitions

In a world without love
What is the reason
In a world without love

Another child is gone
The slaughter of the innocent goes on
We seek illicit passions
How many more will fall to addiction

In a world without love
What is the reason
In a world without eve
In a world without love
ls there an answer
In a world without love

Then glowing ever bright
Breaking through the night
The almighty gives us life

In a world without love
What is the reason
In a world without eve
In a world without love




ls there an answer
In a world without love
