A Glorious Era
In spite of all the terrible things
That continue to happen all around the world
It's still the most amazing place to be
Undoubtedly there are some who would vehemently disagree
But from my humble perspective, this is how I feel
It's always been a matter of how we look at things
There's no denying that uncontrollable evil exists
In the hearts of some men who gain power by force
This is certainly by far the least praiseworthy of all human traits
But I'm sure deep down in MOST people's hearts
Lies goodness trying it's damnedest to survive
Believe it or not, I still have faith in the human condition
And that the souls of all good men and women everywhere
Will eventually win out in some glorious future time
Amen!
