Make the sadness go away   Come back another day   For years I've tried to teach   But their eyes are empty   Empty, too, I have become   For them I must die   A sad and troubled race   An ungrateful troubled place      I see the sadness in their eyes   Melancholy in their cries   Devoid of all the passion   The human spirit cannot die   Look at the pain around me   This is what I cry for   Look at the pain around me   This is what I'll die for      Make the sadness go away   Come back another day   The things I've said and done   Don't matter to anyone   But still, you push me to see   something I can never be   Why am I their shattered king   I don't mean anything      I see the sadness in their eyes   Melancholy in their cries   Devoid of all the passion   The human spirit cannot die   Look at the pain around me   This is what I cry for   Look at the pain around me   This is what I'll die for
