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
Look at you all...
Still my guitar gently weeps
