I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping   While my guitar gently weeps   I look at the floor and I see that it needs sweeping   Still my guitar gently weeps      I don't know why nobody told you   How to unfold your love   And I don't know why someone controlled you   They bought and sold you      I look at the world and I notice it's turning   While my guitar gently weeps   With every mistake we must surely be learning   Still my guitar gently weeps      And I don't know why you were diverted   You were perverted too   And I don't know why you were inverted   No one alerted you      I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping   While my guitar gently weeps   I look at you all   Still my guitar gently weeps
