Make the sadness go away
Come back another day
For years I ve tried to teach
But their eyes are empty
Empty too I have become
For them I must die
A sad and troubled race
An ungrateful troubled place

Chorus:
I see the sadness in their eyes
Melancholy in their cries
Devoid of all the passion
The human spirit cannot die
Look at the pain around me
This is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me
This is what I ll die for

Make the sadness go away
Come back another day
The things I ve said and done
Don t matter to anyone
But stillyou push me to see
SomethingI can never be
Why am I their shattered king?
I don t mean anything

I see the sadness in their eyes
Melancholy in their cries
Devoid of all the passion
The human spirit cannot die
Look at the pain around me
This is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me
This is what I ll die for
