Song lyrics
Hearts are worn in these dark ages
You're not alone in this story's pages
The light has fallen amongst the living and the dying
And I'll try to hold it in
Yeah I'll try to hold it in

The world's on fire it's more than I can handle
I tap into the water and try to bring my share
I try to bring more, more than I can handle
I'll bring it to the table
I'll bring what I am able

I watch the heavens but I find no calling
Something I can do to change whats coming
Stay close to me while the sky's falling
I don't wanna be left alone, don't wanna be alone

The world's on fire it's more than I can handle
I tap into the water and try to bring my share
I try to bring more, more than I can handle
I'll bring it to the table
I'll bring what I am able

Hearts break, hearts mend, love still hurts
Visions clash, planes crash, still there's talk of
Saving souls, still the cold's closing in on us

We part the veil on our killer sun
Stray from the straight line on this short run
The more we take, the less we become
A fortune of one man means less for some

The world's on fire it's more than I can handle
I tap into the water and try to bring my share
I try to bring more, more than I can handle
I'll bring it to the table
I'll bring what I am able
The world's on fire it's more than I can handle
I tap into the water and try to bring my share
I try to bring more, more than I can handle
I'll bring it to the table
I'll bring what I am able

I really like this song! I hope it gets more popular! I never even knew about it til my sis made a CD with this song on it. It's a really beautiful song, and Sarah's a great singer!

A lot of people think that her songs are stupid, but they just reflect her feelings and stuff and I respect her for that!

Rapturous. The 12-minute JXL remix is mindblowing, but the original version is equally powerful. Her tamber burrows into souls...

This song made me feel guilty. I like it, but it makes me feel bad when you see all those other people out there who've got it worse. Its one thing to know about it, another to actually see it. Now I feel spoiled.

Beautiful song - great video as well. It is kind of a wake up call... but she has such a pretty voice. I am a big Sarah McLachlan fan to begin with though, so I might be a little biased!

This is such a beautiful song - it truly shows the great variety of Sarah's abilities, and her mastery of songwriting and relating to the world around her - namely in her references to the destruction of portions of the world through September 11th ("Visions clash, planes crash...")

I think this is a really beautiful song. It's really good. Anyway, it'll probably get more popular eventually. I just think it's really good.
