God Ugly World – Rea Garvey

Waiting at the traffic lights
Your skin is cold and your fists clench tight
At first we’re just strangers
But now I know you well

It’s crazy, I know
But under your coat
Is a heart beating just like mine
And God only knows
I’ve felt that cold
I’ve felt that damp rising up inside

I don’t know your name but I know who you are
You’re like a child that’s screaming save me from the dark

Somebody hold me
Somebody own me
Somebody take away this pain
Somebody hold me
And bring me back to life again
It’s a God ugly world
If the tables were turned,
Would you have what it takes to survive?
It’s a God ugly world
When you’re not being heard
And you feel you’ve been left there to die
It’s a God ugly world
It’s a God ugly world

You were once a father, once a mother
Once a sister to someone else’s brother
The journey was short but it took your life
You know your pride

It’s crazy, I know
But under your coat
Is a heart beating just like mine
And God only knows
I’ve felt that cold
I’ve felt that damp rising up inside

I don’t know your name but I know who you are
You’re like a child that’s screaming save me from the dark

Somebody hold me
Somebody own me
Somebody take away this pain
Somebody hold me
And bring me back to life again
It’s a God ugly world
If the tables were turned,
Would you have what it takes to survive?
It’s a God ugly world
When you’re not being heard
And you feel you’ve been left there to die
It’s a God ugly world
It’s a God ugly world
It’s a God ugly world

It’s crazy, I know
But under your coat
Is a heart beating just like mine
And God only knows
I’ve felt the cold
I’ve felt the damp rising up inside
