Wild, wild, wild horses tell me
Where did they all go
They used to run, used to run
Used to run right here
And all I see is an empty road
Wild, wild, wild roses tell me
Where did they all go
When I was young, I was young
They would spread like fire
And now the roots
Don't know where to grow
Did it come overnight
Or did it come on slow
It's out of our hands
And it's out of control
I don't think that
This is the world we used to know
Is the world we used to know
White, white, white oceans tell me
Where do you lead
When the sun and the sky
Come to meet at night
I wonder, would you carry me
Why won't you tell me
If I'm on my own
You used to be, used to be
Used to be right here
And now I don't know where to go
Did it come overnight
Or did it come on slow
It's out of our hands
And it's out of control
I don't think that
This is the world we used to know
Is the world we used to know
I could show you places that we had
In the world we used to know
Take me home
And show me love can last
There's a world we used to know
Did it come overnight
Or did it come on slow
It's out of our hands
And it's out of control
I don't think that
This is the world we used to know
Is the world we used to know
