Fading Like a Flower

The world is fading like a flower
Hour by hour
Fading like a flower

City after city
There is no social pity
People living on the streets
No food to eat
No shoes
For their children’s feet

Who will save us
Who do we trust
All of these corrupt politicians
Making all the wrong decisions
Who are they to tell me how to live
With so much more to give
For I am just a man
Something they will never understand
We must take back the power
Or the world
Will continue fading like a flower

The End
