All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places - worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere - going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression - no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow - no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very, very...
Mad World, mad world
Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday - happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen - sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me - no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me - look right through me
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very, very...
Mad World, mad world
Enlarge your world
Mad World
Sometimes the world seems so hopeless,a nd I often want Jesus to come and save the earth from ruining itself anymore. But there is still the thought of how many lost people will be lost forever if Jesus would return tonight, or tomorrow. I think the reality of His return does not really sink in our minds. Maybe it is because we fear what the reality of this might be. Despite our not being capable of wrapping our minds around life after death, I think we need to come to terms with what it will be like in relation to how we live our lives now. It matters. The lyrics of this song sound depressing and I think reflects what my perspective of life frequently has been recently. Hopelessness seems so overpowering. Does it seem like the lost people around us are jumping off cliffs with the choices they make? What are we doing about it? Where is our purpose? Where is our passion?
Should this not inspire us a Christians to be sharing the hope we have...especially in our actions. But I know that my language as well should be in check more than it has.
Please understand that God desires use you. He has not created any of us to be merely observing what he is doing, but actively participating in manifesting his will in our lives and spur others to do the same. I know this is idealistic, but then again another problem is this attitude of trying to do to much on our own.
PS
-I would much rather talk about something important like this than watch a movie any day.
