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...
