An Imprisoned World
I'm about to lose my mind
when did we become unkind
to our other human beings
and all of their needs and feelings
where did the great passion go
this world used to see and know
without asking we'd be there
now we need to be aware
of dangers lurking all around
we have to take leaps and bounds
to get this world back in good shape
there is no way to escape
all the horror that we face
why can't we learn to erase
all the hate and racism
we are living in a prison
and the sentence is life long
until once again we're strong
this jail cell will never open
without prayers and lots of hopin'
there'll be no more wars to fight
in harmony we will unite
