In Another World

In another world, I'd be fighting a pointless war

Still in Odessa, dirt-poor with nothing in store

Back in the country where my Mom and Dad brought me home

In another world, I wouldn't be here anymore

Any other day, I'd be playing for change on a stage

In a crowded bar, people singing along, chanting my name

Back when our worries were how much our gas would cost

But in another world, lives are being lost

You'll find a way to take back the days when you think hope is gone

Any other day, it'd be too late to say you're where you belong
