"What In The World" lyrics - CYNTHIA ERIVO

I wake up and look at my phone
I poison my mind
I know I should leave it alone
Somehow I can't fight it
Letting the world that I know
Come down on my shoulders
And I die inside

[Pre-Chorus:]
When we live, do we learn
As the earth, oh, it turns
Oh, my heart, it burns

[Chorus:]
What in the world have we been doing
Why in the world are we so cruel and
What in the world are we gonna do when
The world falls away and there's nothing left
What in the world have we been doing
Why in the world are we so cruel and
What in the world are we gonna do when
The world falls away and there's nothing left

I sit on the floor in the room
Not sure what to do
A hopeless admission of truth
Is well overdue
We're killing the world and our youth
And shameless in choosing
Oh, my heart, it yearns

[Pre-Chorus:]
When we live, can we learn
As the earth, oh, it turns
Oh, my heart, it burns

[Chorus:]
What in the world have we been doing
Why in the world are we so cruel and
What in the world are we gonna do when
The world falls away and there's nothing left
What in the world have we been doing
Why in the world are we so cruel and
What in the world are we gonna do when
The world falls away and there's nothing left
What in the world have we been doing
Why in the world are we so cruel and
What in the world are we gonna do when
The world falls away and there's nothing left

[Outro:]
What are we gonna do
When the world falls away
When it all disappears
When it's all gone, gone
