Switchfoot - The World You Want Lyrics
I'm picking up the pieces
I'm trying out adhesives
I'm trying to fix a place that feels broken
All my words they fail me
My voices don't avail me
Is this the world you want?
Is this the world you want?
You're making it
Every day you're alive
Is this the world you want?
Is this the world you want?
You're making it
The world feels so malicious
Feels like we're in the business of rust
It's when I stop to listen
All the moments I've been missing
I finally hear a voice I can trust
Is this the world you want?
Is this the world you want?
You're making it
Every day you're alive
Is this the world you want?
Is this the world you want?
You're making it
Every day you're alive
You change the world
You change the world
You change the world
Every day you're alive
You change the world
Honey, you change the world
You change my world
You start to look like what you believe
You float through time like a stream
If the waters of time are made up by you and I
If you change the world for you, you change it for me
What you say is your religion
How you say it's your religion
Who you love is your religion
How you love is your religion
All your science, your religion
All your hatred, your religion
All your wars are your religion
Every breath is your religion yea
Is this the world you want?
Is this the world you want?
You're making it
Every day you're alive
Is this the world you want?
Is this the world you want?
You're making it
Every day you're alive
You change the world
You change the world
You change my world
Every day you're alive
You change my world
Honey, you change my world
You change my world

member of the church is far different than the one who's member of the kingdom of GOD
This song is bomb! got me singing in my room at 4 in the morning I mean focused on my homework. Jesus sure loves though !
Timely.
This song is life changing if you believe.
FadingWestWithYou god doesnt exist
like your life
That's what they want you to think.
this song gives me butterflies!!!
The joy of knowing you God is like being in the darkness and suddenly realizing light and seeing another world with love, grace, mercy and joy beyond adversity.
Ernie Kasper god doesnt exist
@Dubbeldrank you have searched the entire universe and established all knowledge in order to come to such a conclusion?
Muito boa está música 😘
so true
i dedicate this song to my father, because he always has more women's in his life and his marriage with my mom.. i feel sad, dad this is the world you want? and I know the song is about other things, but for me remindsme my dad
+Valeria Camacho very sad. thanks for being honest. pray hard, pray often!
always ♡
Awesome Band
We are meant to live this world greater than what and how we want it to, by that we change the world.
Lord, let me be your vessel for this world!
Christians??? Just let us be we don't give y'all such a hard time so just leave us alone dudes.
"To become a scientific theory, an idea must be thoroughly tested, and must be an accurate and predictive description of the natural world. We can talk about the law of gravity that describes the attraction between two objects, and we can also talk about the theory of gravity that describes why the objects attract each other."
If seeing is the only way you're going to believe anything, why do you believe in, say, electrons, radio-waves, or gamma radiation? These things show themselves to us through a different medium. Go to a biology museum and you will see precisely the ancestral ape over generations of mutations in the DNA, and through natural selection, "change" through numerous generations (as the probability of positive mutations are small per generation as compared to harmful mutations) into the homo sapiens of today. So no, nobody can show you an ape morphing into a human on the spot, in the same way that nobody can show you rivers carving into the earth to create canyons over thousands of years. We observe the evidence, then make our conclusion.
It's okay to believe what one wants, but if what one believe is plain wrong, and at the same time, feels it great to spread it around, that's where the problems come in.
Michael Chan are you srlsly starting a religious debate on a Switchfoot song? dude, go bother someone else. they share whatever they want and here u are listening, dont be a hypocrite, spread love, not hate. prove the evil true christians are doing nowdays, guess what, there aint none, because their focus is to help people. and u say this is wrong? C'mon, science without morals became nazism, Einstein wept over his progress being used on wars.
Matheus Lellis, why have you automatically assumed it is a bother to correct a common misconception on scientific theory? I have not said Christians were evil, those were your words not mine. Why have you also assumed that science comes without morals? What exactly is the percentage of intelligent atheists that commit atrocities? Check it please, from a non-christian, government database website. We don't even need to compare it with the religious alternative, the facts speak for themselves. Please fact-check in the future before forming statement of implied truth. There is too much fake news and bad poetic science in the world today not to. Also in the future please do not mentally associate factual clarifications with bother, that's a slippery slope down to pure gullibility.
Is this the World You want???.....
¡Amo ésta canción!
You change the world...
😇👌👌☝
In a nutshell be the change you want to see
This is one of the most true facts that us as Christians don't wish to admit which is sad because the world is to know us by our love that is an extension from the one that we receive from our Father. Thanks for the reminder we needed it.
I just saw them live yesterday at the Del Mar Fair, I've never listen to any of their songs before, and I got hooked instantly. By far one of the best concerts I been to and they made an amazing performance. Would definitely recommend anyone that's thinking of going to their concerts to go!
Powerful Song. Strong meaning.
Someone needs to make a walking dead music video of this
All your religious debates are meaningless if your ultimate aim is not to make the world a better place. Paul of Tarsus writes:
"If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump," and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing. If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love."
+Sam Davidson I needed to read that today, thank you :)
+Sam Davidson I love that scripture so much! Thanks for sharing it! This is so important to remember...
Amen to that dude switchfoot totally helps give me hope everyday and helps put me back on track with God
Paul's sentiment is important, indeed, yet it's about love. The world is made a better place when we all act out of love, but when people attempt this without love in mind, it can have quite the opposite effect. Really interesting to think about, thanks for the thoughtful comment!
Sam Davidson, God reconciles through the blood of Christ. We are not friend to everyone, we can't. Understand you and me are human. God never forced anything on anyone.
Such an inspirational song with good message
agregeeegen me gusta la vergaa
Christ never came to make a new religion but came to give us a new relationship with the Father.
+John Waters I wonder how many times Switchfoot has to publicly say they're not a Christian band before people will start to believe them.
+Runstar Homer Not a Christian band, but a band of people who happen to be Christians.
+Kendra T YES..I am HINDU by religion and I love Switchfoot.
John Waters Verdade meu irmão!
I made xtreme winter today and I heard today it was awesome
Lovee this song to the core!!!
♡.♥
I don't care if you're a Christian or not- you're having an effect on the world. That's what the song is saying. If you don't like the state of the world, don't just sit there and complain. Do something.
This song was an eye-opener for me. I would always see pictures of third-world countries stricken with poverty, and see on the news about something happening in first-world countries (murder, suicide, etc.) but I would always just feel bad and then continue life. "I'm just one person, I can't change anything." We've all thought it at some point. But even the small ripples of how you live your life can make big waves. So I'm going to try to spread love; not just to Christians, but to everyone, and not just as a Christian, but as a person who wants to see a brighter world.
@MagicalH20 THIS IS IT!
@MagicalH20 Feeding people, clothing them, sheltering them, treating them is pointless if you leave them to go to hell. Apart from ministry there is no value in putting effort into this evil world. We can not save this world only bring some to salvation which is only found in Jesus Christ.
or not...
If I could just be happy again
You will be targeted. Get out. Go live your life. It's not worth shouting . It's worth living right. It's worth choosing to stay safe. You are not God. And you are not dealing with spirits. You are dealing with God's image, they can choose to kill. Get out, be right, fear God. Enjoy every bit of rightiouness God died to restore on earth. Expose every religious mobs. Don't be here get out. It's SHIT.
EPIC!!!!
hi natalie! this song just played on my computer all by itself today...out of nowhere...that would be NOW HERE!
I'm not a Christian, or actually, part of a religion, but I enjoyed the song and its message immensely.
Just got back into this band. Kinda got into different stuff after OH! Gravity. IMO this song doesn't sound like any they've put out before and I love it! Kudos to these guys for 9 albums of musical growth and awesomeness!
Awesome!
LOVE this song because it truly talks about how Christainity is more than religion, it is a relationship with Jesus and a way of life, and everything you do, every breath, defines your life and what the world calls your religion.
Yet another baseless assumption! I wonder what's next!
@Michael Chan
Triggered, are we?
Is this what it's come down to? Lacking any further intelligent input, instead of admitting you've made a mistake, you've resorted to slander on the equivalent level of "You mad bro?". Laugh it off if you want, but your comment oozes of pure idiocy. I will not be replying further to this. Feel free to have the last word.
alright, I admit, my statement is baseless.
Is this the World You want freind?
I saw them in concert in April 2014 and they were amazing!!!! Love you guys
la mejor banda de rock
Very good song, it's sad how it only has 60,000 views u.u
After watching Beware of Christians I began to love the concept of stepping away from religion and starting to look at Christianity as the act of following Christ. Our religion shouldn't be a detached thing from how we live our life. Being a Christian affects every part of us, even our sins. Switchfoot nailed this one.
I think that whole idea can apply to just about anyone, how anyone lives their life says a lot about them.
I feel that "religion" and following Christ are two totally different things. Im a follower of Christ, not a "religion". Religions, when you sin or mess up, they bog you down. They make you feel like a screw up. But with Christ, we are forgiven. All our shame, fears and failures are taken up by him if we let them go. He's healer, redeemer, and our savior. I feel that being a Christian, in todays world, has become harder. A friend I have at church, then at school are totally different people. It makes me sad that people like him claim to be Christian but are really fakes. It breaks my heart more when people see him and think thats what following Jesus is. Christ looks over each and every one of us. Searching for that one person to keep this world here, as long as theres one, he will keep us. Thats the world I want. Where people can just coexist and get along. I wish people could just show love and care for other's. Even when we think our life is perfect, its really just a nice and warm furnished cell and when our time is up the door slams shut. Only YOU can choose to walk out, the door is open, and Jesus is calling us home!
Well Jesus did say "I am the way, the truth, and the life" for a reason. I found that people with a religious mind set dont actually see all the blessings that they can because they don't have a personal relationship with God.
This song is very interesting in its lyrics. Very intense message, but needed. Good job Switchfoot. This song really does put into perspective the things that we do every day and how much they really DO matter.
Switchfoot comes back stronger every time! Thank You!
I'm sure that compared to most of y'all I'm an old lady, but I have been abundantly blessed by this music, and Switchfoot is in my prayers!
Hey never to old to be amazed and overjoyed by music :D
I can feel that Jon writes from his heart, from his intuition, his personal God. That's why the songs are so powerful. He writes with God's hands.
awesome
you are the best switchfoot :) realy .. best :)
what is the song from the beginning? :s
im brazilian and im a fa
ty switchfoot you changed my life with yours musics n really you change the world
Really great and powerful song! One of my personal favorite in the new album. The song has deep meaning and theme. My main understanding of the song is that everything that we do is what we belief (religion) and asking if we really want our own life (world) but it is our choice if we are to fix our own world to make it what we really want. Please read the story that I've made about this song: http://www.wattpad.com/40163405-from-sound-to-life-stories-based-on-the-songs-of
Actions speak louder than words. Your religious beliefs, what you say, thats one thing. How you live them, how you live EVERYTHING. That's what matters. That's what Switchfoot is saying, and has always said. We were meant to live for so much more. I dare you to lift yourself off the floor. Im ready now, Im not waiting for the afterlife. Love is the movement.
" Is this the world you want your making it."
This is such a beautifully powerful song. Thank you Switchfoot
I agree.
Although the whole everything is your "religion" is so false it's hard to stomach, I have to admit that I do enjoy the song. The message is really bad though.
@DumbAssChristian He is being poetic and trying to make a point that you are clearly missing.
@Joel Martin I get the point, don't agree with it.
Then why do u name yourself dumbasschristian? R u stating that u r one? Or that all other christians are dumb?
@Arc Hage It's intended to offend all the religious people out there who are dumb asses, spreading their hate and using religion as a cushion. I used Christianity because it is the worst of them all.
Thank u for clarifying, I understand wat u mean... A lot of people call themselves Christian, but never act like one
absolutely fantastic!!! marvelous!!!
My favorite song on the album! SO POWERFUL!
Man I love you guys. Soundtrack for life. That's what I'm calling Fading West. That's what God has anointed you to be, a soundtrack for life, and let me tell you guys, it's sweet stuff, really sweet stuff. Thanks for making a difference, a difference you can feel.
Totally inspiring!
so inspirated......
muy bueno bendiciones desde venezuela!
una de mis bandas favoritas
this song is so nice and deeply
Inspirational!!
Que buen tema, y que título! Grande Switchfoot. Blessing
Hermosa canción ! Saludos desde Argentina :)
Venham ao Brasil, por favor. Mais exatamente, em Vitória, Espírito Santo. Seria ótimo! Abraços de um fã brasileiro.
How they mention "your religion" in this song really hits me. No matter what it is: good, evil, fact, fiction, love, hate, it's "your religion."
Also, can't deny that having the Kuyasa Kids in here is a stellar addition. I mean, any children singing this song would get you to reflect on what Switchfoot wants, but the Kuyasa Kids adds to it. (Watch the movie Fading West and you will see).

definitely the BEST track on the album! I love the purity of vocals..
this my favorite song of Fanding West! #Yeah!
Great ! ! ! ! ! , friends come to Costa Rica again . . . .
Fav song off the cd. The vocals are perfect, it's something different from you guys for sure.
Yeah. It has a Youth of the Nation feel to it. But with an even better message
Is this the world you want?
Is it everything you dreamed that it would be?
Looooove this :)
i love how each album has its own unique sound but still keeps the "switchfoot" feel. everytime you guys have an album it instantly becomes my favorite. God bless, keep it up.
Awesome track.. it's a blessing to listen to
