Do You See What I See
When life gives you lemons you can make lemonade
You seem pretty happy with the choices you've made
You think that life is a simple cup of tea?
Well tell me this, do you see what I see?
I see a world full of death and destruction
A world that prefers war over construction
Countries run by corrupt dictators
Websites just crawling with haters
At this time human interaction is rough
With kids strutting around, thinking they are tough
Now all the victims days aren't very sunny
Tell me, do you still think bullying is funny?
I see individuals who hate
Because of the gender that people date
And people, with their reasoning thin
Judge others based on the color of their skin
I see pollution, confusion, and people who starve
I see the downfall of humanity, due to the society we've carved
I see secrets being kept by the people who rule
I see people being mugged, now that's not very cool
The people we fear are the ones who're supposed to protect
Society is blind due to the secrets that are kept
In order to progress we will have to fix ourselves, yes, both you and me
Don't you see? This world needs equality
Yes I know "look on the bright side of things"
Be grateful for the good, and toast with a cling
Yes, optimism is a trait in which I wish I had more
But unfortunately, these topics are too big to ignore
Do you still think that life is a pot of honey?
Tell me now, do you see what I see?
