For Lack of a Better World --- Song Lyric

There is silence in the still waters where lost in the shadows our dreams lie asleep No one dares ask why they don't waken because the heart knows the wounds are too deep For lack of a better world people starve in desert heat. For lack of a better world kids buy crack out on the street. TV slander, corporate lies, hopeless anger, tortured cries, a heart falls to defeat For lack of a better world For lack of a better world some are condemned at birth. For lack of a better world some think they own the earth. Crowded prisons, racial hate, Greenhouse gases, it's too late cause someone died today For lack of a better world What kind of world is this we're creatin' where the trust of a child is battered and broken? What kind of life can we expect when seeds of compassion are fed with neglect? For lack of a better world we see foes where there should be friends For lack of a better world we're all losers in the end Look around with open eyes; it won't take long to realize it's time to make amends For lack of a better world Link to the recorded song: https://bit.ly/2A2EaYH
