about

This song came from a positive place. I belong to an online ukulele group. Even when half the world are asleep half the world are up playing, recording, listening and responding. Other divisions are less positive but the notion behind the same came from a good place

lyrics

Half The World

Half the world’s in darkness,
Half the world’s in light.
Half the world thinks half the world is wrong
And they are right.
Half the world is lonesome,
Half the world is sad,
Half the world could be the friend
Half the world just never had.

Half the world is crying,
Half the world don’t care
Half the world is dying,
Half the world won’t share.
Half the world is wealthy,
Half the world is poor
Half the world is reaching out
Half the world ignore

When we going to realise
That two halves should be one?
Time to open up our eyes
We’re the same when all is said and done
Same when all is said and done
Half the world’s in shackles,
Half the world is free,
Half the world feel half the world
Live how they long to be.

Half the world’s in comfort,
Half the world’s in pain
Half the world thinks the other
Half the world should take the blame.
Half the world’s in chaos
Half the world is lost
Half the world don’t give a damn
Doesn’t count the cost.

When we going to realise
That two halves should be one?
Time to open up our eyes
We’re the same when all is said and done
Same when all is said and done
Half the world will get by,
Half the world will break.
Half the world is sleeping
Half the world’s awake
