Lying in the park on a beautiful day
Sunshine in the grass, and the children play
Siren’s passing, fire engine red
Someone’s house is burning down on a day like this

The evening comes and we’re hanging out
On the front step and a car rolls by with the windows rolled down
And that war song is playing, “why can’t we be friends?”
Someone is screaming and crying in the apartment upstairs

Funny the way it is, if you think about it
Somebody’s going hungry and someone else is eating out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
Somebody’s heart is broken and it becomes your favorite song

The way your mouth feels in your lovers kiss
Like a pretty bird on a breeze or water to a fish
A bomb blast brings a building crashing to the floor
You hear the laughter while the children play war

Funny the way it is, if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school, another’s dropping out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
On a soldier’s last breath his baby’s being born

Standing on a bridge, watch the water passing under me
It must’ve been much harder when there was no bridge just water
Now the world is small, remember how it used to be
With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars

Watch the sky, the jet planes, so far out of my reach
Is there someone up there looking down on me?
Boy chase a bird, so close but every time
He’ll never catch her, but he can’t stop trying

Funny the way it is, if you think about it
One kid walks 10 miles to school, another’s dropping out
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
On a soldier’s last breath his baby’s being born
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong
Somebody’s broken heart becomes your favorite song
Funny the way it is, if you think about it
A kid walks 10 miles to school, another’s dropping out

Standing on a bridge, watch the water passing under me
It must’ve been much harder when there was no bridge just water
Now the world is small, remember how it used to be
With mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars

    I sent in the corrected lyrics without any typo's, correct grammar placement (comma's and such) but these lyrics aren't mine, but better than before.

    Well, I just checked the those are the lyrics I submitted, I forgot I sent those in after cleaning up the wrong lyrical parts, I didn't clean up all the grammar though, and I typoed. My first submission though and it was taken.

    Some of the lyrics are messed up...
    "A soldier's last breath
    hi baby's being born"
    not
    "Oh, a soldier's last breath
    and a baby's being born"
    &
    "Funny the way it is
    not right or wrong"
    not
    "funny the way it is
    nor right or wrong"
    &
    "Now the world is small, compared to how it use to be with mountains and oceans and winters and stars"
    not
    "Now the world is small. Remember how it used to be,
    with mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars?"
    &
    "One Kid" not "A kid"
    There are more mistakes...
