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.
