When the World’s Falling Apart

[Verse 1] Grandpa's barn stands empty, paint faded to gray, Fields once golden, now turned to clay, Momma's voice echoes, warning in her tone, Them city lights are creeping, taking over our home. [Verse 2] Down at the diner, the chairs are bare, Folks used to gather, now nobody's there, Main Street's a ghost town, shops boarded up tight, The dreams we once held, now vanished in the night. [Chorus] Why's the world falling apart, what's gone wrong? Used to find comfort in a country song, Hands tough from working, hearts open wide, Now we're losing sight of the simple life. [Verse 3] Scroll through the headlines, sorrow and despair, Politicians arguing, but they don't really care, Neighbors divided by invisible lines, Used to share a fence, now we're running out of time. [Bridge] Maybe it's the greed, or the race for more, Or forgotten values that we can't ignore, But here in this heartland, we hold on tight, To the things that mattered, to what's really right. [Chorus] Why's the world falling apart, what's gone wrong? Used to find comfort in a country song, Hands tough from working, hearts open wide, Now we're losing sight of the simple life.
