They said it won’t happen here
It turns out they were wrong
I hope we have enough time
To finish this hopeful song
Because….
The asteroid they’re tracking
Is heading here from space
It gets closer every second
So we're sheltering in place
We've got provisions in the pantry
We've got chowder, chicken stew
Sand bags in the stairwells
We’ve done all we can do
But I know….
It’s gonna be OK
It’s gonna be all right
You haven’t said you loved me yet
So the world can’t end tonight
No, the world can’t end tonight
The preacher on the radio
Said the end is near
God is very angry
And he’s making that quite clear
Lightning hit the steeple
The church burned to its foundation
Main Street is impassable
There’s a riot at the station
The flash flood drove the school bus
Five miles down the creek
A twister took down city hall
While the mayor took a leak
They said it won’t happen here
It turns out they were wrong
I hope we have enough time
To finish this hopeful song
I’m sure…
It’s gonna be OK
It’s gonna be all right
You haven’t said you loved me yet
So the world can’t end tonight
No, the world can’t end tonight
Tectonic plates are shifting
A new virus in the air
We can’t get a signal
But no one seems to care
Wawa’s on fire
The Pope is fleeing Rome
The missiles on the radar
Are aimed directly at our home
They said it won’t happen here
It turns out they were wrong
I hope we have enough time
To finish this hopeful song
It’s gonna be OK
It’s gonna be all right
You haven’t said you loved me yet
So the world can’t end tonight
No, the world can’t end tonight
Yeah, it’s gotta be OK
Its gotta be all right
Just don’t say you love me
And the world won’t end tonight
Let’s not let the world end tonight
