The Moody Blues: Lost in a Lost World

Music by The Moody Blues

I woke up today, I was crying,
Lost in a lost world.
So many people are dying,
Lost in a lost world.
Some of them are living an illusion,
Bounded by the darkness of their minds.
In their eyes it's nation against
nation against nation,
With racial pride.
Sad hearts they hide
Thinking only of themselves,
They shun the light,
(somehow they shun the light)
They think they're right,
(somehow they think they're right)
Living in their empty shells.

Oh, can you see their world is crashing
(so many people, so many people)
Crashing down around their feet
And angry people in the street,
Are telling them they've had their fill
(so many people)
Of politics that wound and kill
(so many people)
Grow, the seeds of evolution
(so many people, so many people)
Revolution never won
It's just another form of gun
To do again what they have done
(so many people, so many people)
With all our brothers, youngest sons.
(so many people, so many people)

Everywhere you go you'll
see them searching
Everywhere you turn you'll feel the pain
Everyone is looking for the answer
Well look again.
Come on my friend,
Love will find them in the end
Come on my friend, we've got to bend
On our knees and say a prayer.

Oh, can you feel the world is pining
(so many people, so many people)
Pining for someone who really cares
Enough to share his love,
With all of us so we can be
(so many people)
An ever loving family.
(so many people)
Oh, have you forgotten we're all children
(so many people, so many people)
Children from a family tree
That's longer than a centipede
And started long ago when you and I
(so many people, so many people)
Were only love--
(so many people, so many people)

I woke up today, I was crying,
Lost in a lost world,
So many people are dying,
Lost in a lost world.
So many people, so many people, people
Lost in a lost world
So many people, so many people, people
Lost in a lost world

Nice...

[EssentialDegnities]

Thank you

[Tommy Higginbotham]

Been listening to the Moody's from the beginning. In the military {USAF} I made a tape for my open reel that I used for meditation for then and for years to come. It started with 'Days of Future Passed' and didn't stop until all seven of those first concept albums played through in their entirety. I still do that but having no open reel I have to get up and flip over the records. Guess I need a bigger turntable. Long Live the Moody Blues!

[EssentialDegnities]

I know what you mean and I do love the nostalgia of those LP's Back in Costa Rica where I used to live, we were thinking about getting reel to reels for that purpose of just listening to music like this without getting out of our chair! Thank you for sharing!

[EssentialDegnities]

This reminds me of the Freaking Globalists ie: The Bilderberg Group!

[1ConsciousDreamer]

The lyrics to this song are so appropriate

for today's troubled times...

dead on

We are lost,

or should I define that statement ?

The powers that rule this world are lost, all they care about is profit and deceit.

They destroy the earth, pollute the water and the air, and kill all the wildlife and

the rainforests. Time for revolution, methinks.

[EssentialDegnities]

I agree with you and we see the end result happening today! We are lost in a Lost World but you know we can always find the True path to Freedom.

[SunriseLAW]

I see no difference between now and all other time except this: with internet we are SUDDENLY AWARE. With internet we are endlessly presented with images and videom, much of which is out of context. Media endlessly 'hypes' the smallest problems to make us think all is Lost. Humanity was reborn with internet broadband 'massing'. We are almost like one organism now. Change is here.

[avbjork96]

Yes !! Real Humans ! ...  and appropriate video +++

[Robert Reed]

With some countries ignoring the lessons of the past, we are condemn to repeat the misttakes of the past. War is clearly an option which should be avoided at all cost. Still, some countries continue to thiink that war is an option to pursue. For the next World War will likely be a total war. In case of total, many laws of war may seem no longer valid.

Seeds of evolution.

[winnentoe100]

F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C-!

[Phillip H George]

"Well Done, Thank You!"

"Best Wishes & Good Luck!"

[moodyblue39]

So wish the Moodies would remaster and rerelease this. Your video is very good too.

[hans zier jørgensen]

love their tunes and lyrics their my mentors

[Cjl13]

Did you look at the lyrics?

Revolution never won

It's just another form of gun

It means that many revolutions just end up with the winner doing all the wrongs they were rebelling against in the first place.
