When I found out that the world was unfair
I left it promptly
I did not want to face the pain
When I found out that dreams don't come true
I stopped sleeping
Now I lay awake all through the night
When I found out that love can fade
I fell out of it
I think I'll be better off alone
When you told me we're here to exist
But nothing more
Each new day seemed just like the rest
When I found out that young girls lead lives of bondage
just so men might have their fun
When I found out that families are separated
just because we want to own nice things
When I was told about the
boys that suffer
mining diamonds for our wedding day
When I looked into the eyes of the hungry child
I realized how full I've been
When I found out that life was unfair
I left it promptly
I did not want to face the pain
But once I left I realized that
there is beauty
And I stood to lose more than I'd gain
When I found out that mothers toil
to feed their children
giving every ounce of their strength
When I met the man without a voice
oh he told me
the best story that I'd heard
When I saw the lame girl take
the hand of a child
and walk him all the way home
When I saw the beggar feed
his last bite of food
to the starving dog at his feet
When I found out that there are people
living their lives
that way well I wanted to stay
I left it promptly
I did not want to face the pain
When I found out that dreams don't come true
I stopped sleeping
Now I lay awake all through the night
When I found out that love can fade
I fell out of it
I think I'll be better off alone
When you told me we're here to exist
But nothing more
Each new day seemed just like the rest
When I found out that young girls lead lives of bondage
just so men might have their fun
When I found out that families are separated
just because we want to own nice things
When I was told about the

mining diamonds for our wedding day
When I looked into the eyes of the hungry child
I realized how full I've been
When I found out that life was unfair
I left it promptly
