[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

[Verse 1]
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]
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

[Verse 2]
Oh they tell me there's a place over yonder
Cool water running through the burning sand
Until we we learn to love one another
We will never reach the promised land

[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
There's a hole in the world tonight
(They say that anger is just love disappointed)
There's a cloud of fear and sorrow
(They say that love is just a state of mind)
There's a hole in the world tonight
(But all this fighting over who will be anointed)
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow
(Oh how can people be so blind?)
There's a hole in the world tonight (Hole in the world)
There's a cloud of fear and sorrow (Fear and sorrow)
There's a hole in the world tonight (Mmm)
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow
There's a hole in the world tonight (There's a hole in the world)
There's a cloud of fear and sorrow (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
(Don't let there be a hole in the world, mmm)
There's a hole in the world tonight (Mmm yeah)
There's a cloud of fear and sorrow
(Oh there's a cloud of fear and sorrow)
There's a hole in the world tonight
(There's a hole in the world tonight)
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow (Mmm)
There's a hole in the world tonight (Mmm)
There's a cloud of fear and sorrow (A cloud of fear and sorrow)
There's a hole in the world tonight (Great big hole in the world)
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow
(Don't let there be a hole in the world)
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

one of the most popular and successful bands of all time. Originating in Los Angeles in 1971, its founding members were Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner. They saw the coming and going of various members, including Frey who passed away in 2016.

Eagles were a success from the start. Their eponymous debut album, Eagles (1972), saw three singles enter the Top 40: “Take It Easy”, “Witchy Woman”, and “Peaceful Easy Feeling”, reaching respective peaks of 12, 9, and 22.

At this point, however, the Eagles were just getting started. Their second album, Desperado (1973), featured two of their most popular songs of all “Tequila Sunrise” and title track “Desperado”. Additionally, the other songs were critically acclaimed for other reasons, such as Leadon’s performance on “Saturday Night”. You’d be wrong if you thought the Eagles were settling down after back-to-back triumphs. Their next album, On the Border (1974), had on it their first “Best of My Love”.
