10,000 Years Lyrics - Live

The world is burning down 

Can't you smell the smoke in the air? 

War, disease, and famine 

This demon, she is everywhere 

. 

Poets and preachers and politicians 

They've all had their say 

And we got 10,000 years 

Devoted to nothing 

But tomorrow and yesterday 

. 

If all of the ignorance in the world 

Passes a second ago 

What would you say? 

Who would you obey? 

I am here to say that 

. 

Peace is now 

. 

Mr. President 

I hereby pardon you of all your crimes 

For they are just as much mine 

. 

Selfishness and separation have led me 

To believe that the world is not my problem 

The world is not my problem 

I am the world 

And you are the world 

. 

If all of the ignorance in the world 

Passes a second ago 

What would you say? 

Who would you obey? 

I am here to say that 

. 

Peace is now
