The Tuning of the World Songtext
von Karl Bartos

I saw Laurie today, her song filled the air
She lent her voice to death and despair
The sofa on stage turned into a screen
Concrete illusion felt like a dream

I connect to the sound inside my mind
Closer I can′t get to the divine
I wish I could believe in God
Life would be just safe and sound
I'd build my house on solid ground

It′s rather hard to understand
Why some believe and others can't
Who rules the tuning of the world?


If life was a song, would that affect me?
Could I offset a track or change the key?
I'm on top of the world. got the music in me.
I hope I die gracefully.

I wish I could believe in God
Life would be just safe and sound
I′d build my house on solid ground

It′s rather hard to understand
Why some believe and others can't.
Who rules the tuning of the world?

And if someone upstairs would drop me a line,
I′m ready to go if I only had time
Until I find out what am I here for
I only know it's you forevermore
