Gentle Nature

Gentle Nature Gentle nature blessed and cursed how am I going to survive in the dog eat dog much longer They tell me that I am to high in a world that's to low and I'm just trying to make a living for my family and for the children of tomorrow and O' how I pray that they live in a world less dark than the one we live in today where love is hard and human compassion lurks so far away from our cities of thought and the outside crushes our spirit to death as the little ones look for God in a world that's lost and gasping for breath dumb, deaf, and blind like some kind of spiritual land of the dead the children’s eyes so big and bright full of hope and love for their moms and dads wobbling as they walk smiling, because their glad to be alive such a shame that the world will soon steal their innocence O' child know that the world plans to lead you away from God and all that we put forth is but the seeds of future thoughts take my advice and don't wander to far away from the word of God and his law we ride white, red, black, and pale false religion, war, death, and hell while wearing sixes with pride and to wealthy wolves we tithe on the inside and on the outside ride ride ride and forget the words of the Lord that said if you have give to the poor as if we don't know the price we'll have to pay if these words go ignored because we prefer a world that's on fire broken and torn
