is this the new year or just another night?
is this the new fear or just another fright?
is this the new tear or just another desperation?
is this the finger or just another fist?
is this kingdom or just a hit and miss
i miss direction most in all this desperation
is this what they call freedom?
is this what you call pain?
is this what they call discontented fame?
it'll be a day like this one
when the world caves in
when the world caves in
when the world caves in
im singing this one
like a broken piece of glass
for broken hearts
and broken noses in the back
is this the new year or just another desperation?
you're pushing till you're shoving
you bend until you break
do you stand on the field where your broken fathers lay?
it'll be a day like this one when the world caves in
when the world caves in
when the world caves in
when the world caves in
when the world caves in
when the world caves in
is there nothing here worth saving?
is there no one here at all?
is there any net left that could break our fall?
it'll be a day like this one when the sky breaks down
when the hungry and poor and deserted are found
are you discontented?
have you been pushing hard?
have you been throwing down this broken house of cards?
it'll be a day like this one when the world caves in
when the world caves in
when the world caves in
when the world caves in
is there nothing left now?
nothing left to sing?
are there any left that haven't kissed the enemy?
is this the new year or just another desperation?
does justice ever find you?
do the wicked never lose?
is there any other song left to sing besides these blues
and nothing is okay until the world caves
till the world caves in
till the world caves in
till the world caves in
till the world caves in
till the world caves in
till the world caves in
till the world caves in
till the world caves in
till the world caves in
-(switchfoot)
