When
What brings us to today?
What lies in tomorrow?
When shall the world live
Without pain or sorrow?
Where's the Truth?
Where's the Love?
Where's the desire
To know the Lord above?
Today the world
Is constantly at war,
Yet too soon do we forget
What it is we're fighting for.
Will we ever comrpomise
And learn how to share?
Where is our compassion?
When will we learn to care?
What about giving?
What about respect?
It seems that too often
We don't care who we affect.
So let us watch what we say
And listen to what is said
Don't you want to be remembered
Even after you are dead?
Let's be thankful for all we have
And learn how to give back
For something of no use to us
Could be what someone else may lack
Let our attitudes be inspiring
Stick it out through thick and thin
For all of us are winners
Even though we don't all win
