Is This the World We Created...? Lyrics
Just look at all those hungry mouths we have to feed
Take a look at all the suffering we breed
So many lonely faces scattered all around
Searching for what they need
Is this the world we created?
What did we do it for?
Is this the world we invaded
Against the law?
So it seems in the end
Is this what we're all living for today?
The world that we created
You know that every day a helpless child is born
Who needs some loving care inside a happy home
Somewhere a wealthy man is sitting on his throne
Waiting for life to go by
Is this the world we created?
We made it on our own
Is this the world we devastated
Right to the bone?
If there's a God in the sky looking down
What can he think of what we've done
To the world that He created?
Take a look at all the suffering we breed
So many lonely faces scattered all around
Searching for what they need
What did we do it for?
Is this the world we invaded
Against the law?
So it seems in the end
Is this what we're all living for today?
The world that we created
Who needs some loving care inside a happy home
Somewhere a wealthy man is sitting on his throne
Waiting for life to go by
We made it on our own
Is this the world we devastated
Right to the bone?
If there's a God in the sky looking down
What can he think of what we've done
To the world that He created?

It's such a sweet song...the meaning is obvious
This is a BEAUTIFUL song I love the guitar part and Freddie's singing is amazing
Freddie truly was one of the greatest artists in history I believe this was written for the Live Aid Concert in tribute to poverty around the globe
Another beautiful song by Queen. It makes you stop and think "What are we doing to the world! Except for life this is the greatest gift we've got! But we're destroying it with all our power. WHY!!!!!!?????
Yes, this song does make you stop and think. Not only are we destroying the world by abusing our power, but we (First world societies) absolutely refuse to give up just a little bit of power, money, time, whatever it takes to save people who really need it.
A really beautiful song and filled with passion and a another poke at industrialation as was most of the works
The best songs with the best messages! Nowadays the music just seems to be empty of reall meaning... Maybe that's why young people, born in the 80's and 90's, are falling in love with bands like Queen!
This is such a beautiful song...WHY ARE THERE SO FEW COMMENTS?
This song is so beautiful. It makes me cry... ...and I never cry!
i love this song. it's so beautiful!
