Will we know what the meaning was

Or the people we moved by just being us?

'Cause the life that we have is moving so fast

And it wrestles us into dust

When you can't put your faith in the one you love

And you're challenged to believe there's someone above

Spend your life in a cage, pour your heart on a stage

Then you blink and all of it's gone

And I'm going where it hurts

Gonna make it work

In a mad, mad world

And I'll be here for what it's worth

We're gonna find that goal

In a mad, mad world

What is the meaning of anything?

I just need something good to believe in

Are we losing our minds in the presence of time

As we're hanging on by a strain?

Please, don't send in your calvary

Maybe I just need you to believe in me

'Cause the life that we have is moving so fast

And it wrestles us to our knees

And I'm going where it hurts

Gonna make it work

In a mad, mad world

And I'll be here for what it's worth

We're gonna find that goal

In a mad, mad world

Somewhere now the ocean's making pearls

Someone's letting someone heal their soul

And someone's looking for someone to hold

In this mad, mad world

Mad, mad world

Mad, mad world

I'm going where it hurts

Gonna make it work

In a mad, mad world

And I'll be here for what it's worth

We're gonna find that goal

In a mad, mad world
