We Live In a Dangerous World
This world that we live in
is filled with many a danger
every day nothing is certain
no one knows whether friend or stranger
Any illness can attack us
many a trouble can bear us down
humanity has no certainty
indeed no lasting crown
Since the world's beginning
throughout every generation
from east to west
filling each and every nation
Troubles and suffering fills mankind
despite mans efforts of escape
man is lost in this world
a world lacking moral shape
But this is our world
filled with danger all around
enjoy it while you can
before it all goes to ground
One day this world will end
it's dangers will be gone
a new world will replace it
then eternity will dawn
