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
