Weep For the World

Weep for the world people As we sit back and watch it die Do nothing and ignore her Pretend you can't hear her cry Weep for the world mothers As she claims your children One by one she takes them And leaves you in ruins Weep for the world fathers As your sons head off for war They come back in body bags Never knowing the freedom they fought for Weep for the world sisters When your brothers don't come home Shot down in the streets Where in the night they choose to rome Weep for the world brothers As your sisters get abused Never knowing their worth They stay to be used Weep for the world Familys Look at what we have done You can look away from it But from the world you can't run
