(Don Henley, Glenn Frey)

Chorus:
There's a hole in the world tonight.
There's a cloud of fear and sorrow.
There's a hole in the world tonight.
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.

They say that anger is just love disappointed.
They say that love is just a state of mind.
But all this fighting over who is anointed.
Oh, how can people be so blind.

Chorus

Oh, they tell me there's a place over yonder.
Cool water running through the burning sand.
Until we learn to love one another,
We will never reach the promise land.

Chorus

They say that anger is just love disappointed.
They say that love is just a state of mind.
But all this fighting over who will be anointed,
Oh, how can people be so blind.
