Make the sadness go away
Come back another day
For years Ive tried to teach
But their eyes are empty
Empty too I have become
For them I must die
A sad and troubled race
An ungrateful troubled place

(chorus)
I see the sadness in their eyes
Melancholy in their cries
Devoid of all the passion
The human spirit cannot die
Look at the pain around me
This is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me
This is what Ill die for

Make the sadness go away
Come back another day
The things Ive said and done
Dont matter to anyone
But still, you push me to see
Something, I can never be
Why am I their shattered king?
I dont mean anything

I see the sadness in their eyes
Melancholy in their cries
Devoid of all the passion
The human spirit cannot die
Look at the pain around me
This is what I cry for
Look at the pain around me
This is what Ill die for
