I look at you all see the love 
there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps

I look at the floor and I see 
it needs sweeping 
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why 
nobody told you 
how to unfold your love

I don't know how
someone controlled you
They bought and sold you.

I look at the world 
and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps

With every mistake we must 
surely be learning

Still my guitar gently weeps 
I don't know how you 
were diverted

You were perverted too
I don't know how you 
were inverted

No one alerted you.
I look at you all see the love 
there that's sleeping

While my guitar gently weeps
I look at you all... 
Still my guitar gently weeps.
