| There’s a hole in the world tonight.
 | 
| There’s a cloud of fear and sorrow.
 | 
| There’s a hole in the world tonight.
 | 
| Don’t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.
 | 
| They say that anger is just love disappointed.
 | 
| They say that love is just a state of mind.
 | 
| But all this fighting over who is anointed,
 | 
| Oh, how can people be so blind?
 | 
| There’s a hole in the world tonight.
 | 
| There’s a cloud of fear and sorrow.
 | 
| There’s a hole in the world tonight.
 | 
| Don’t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.
 | 
| Oh, they tell me there’s a place over yonder
 | 
| Cool water running through the burning sand.
 | 
| Until we learn to love one another,
 | 
| We will never reach the Promised Land.
 | 
| There’s a hole in the world tonight.
 | 
| There’s a cloud of fear and sorrow.
 | 
| There’s a hole in the world tonight.
 | 
| Don’t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.
 | 
| (There's a hole in the world tonight.)
 | 
| They say that anger is just love disappointed.
 | 
| (There's a cloud of fear and sorrow.)
 | 
| They say that love is just a state of mind.
 | 
| (There's a hole in the world tonight.)
 | 
| But all this fighting over who will be anointed,
 | 
| (Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.)
 | 
| Oh, how can people be so blind?
 | 
| There’s a hole in the world tonight.
 | 
| (Hole in the world)
 | 
| There’s a cloud of fear and sorrow.
 | 
| (Fear and sorrow)
 | 
| There’s a hole in the world tonight.
 | 
| (Ooooh)
 | 
| Don’t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow |
