There's a crack in the ground from Waterloo
All the way to Arizona
I can see form the fire escape outside
That helped me get to know you

What was it like when I was in your life?
Did my touch feel the same
As your touch it felt so good to me?
It felt so good to me

One world, one love
Means nothing if you're just pretending
One world, one love
There's nothing to good intentions
Dark as the black in the cracks in the ground

There's a crack in the ground from Tennessee
All the way to Caledonia
I can see by the way the silence rings
And echoes in the corners

How many times you wanted to cry
But you kept it inside?
Now the silence echoes deafening
It's much too loud for me

One world, one love
Means nothing if you're just pretending
One world, one love
There's nothing to good intentions
Dark as the black in the cracks in the ground

There's a crack in the ground from old New York
All the way to Minnesota
I can see by the way ten thousand lakes
Are screaming for more water

Give us some hope, we haven't got enough
To keep ourselves filled up
When you drink us empty, drink us dry
And ask us why we're dry

One world, one love
Means nothing if you're just pretending
One world, one love
There's nothing to good intentions

One world, one love
Means nothing if you're just pretending
To do your part
There's nothing to good intentions

Dark as the black in the cracks in the ground
Dark as the black in the cracks in the dark
As the black in the cracks in the ground
