Opposite Views From the Middle of the Universe

In the middle of the universe, I stand
Wanting for everyone to be alive 
When fear is conquered, everyone will be alive
The truth is revealed when bravery is set free
Medicine cures illness, everyone will be alive
Create a cool wave of healing to save
Able to fight terror, everyone will be alive
Will not bend to someone else's sender 
When people find peace, everyone will be alive
End of war and pointless killing will be no more
As I watch I only want to see happiness and bliss  



In the middle of the universe, I stand
Wanting for everyone to die
When all people show fear, everyone will die
Blazing balls of fright glowing so bright
As disease consumes, everyone will die
Hot flames of death with every last breath
Disabled by terror, everyone will die
Giving life to the invader's knife
On the day of the final war, everyone will die 
As the final body falls the end of time calls
As I watch I want to see pain, suffering and death

Two opposite ways to look at life from the middle of the universe.
