Our World
Dear God please help me understand why people are so cruel.
Why everyone inside this world can't follow just one rule?
To treat each other with respect and tender love and care,
and hope that one day they receive the love in which we share.
Dear God please help me understand why color plays a part,
why teach our children hate and fear and tear their lives apart.
Dear God please help me understand the tounge and land of some
what give them right to think their lands the only blessed one.
Dear God why must our babies die please help me understand
this gift of love and joy you give we kill with our on hands.
Deasr God please help me understand why brother turns on brother,
and why the love that they once shared is now a hate for others.
Deasr God please help me understand this world in which we live.
Why some would put a price on life and worship dollar bills.
Dear God now in this world we built we must now teach our sons
to have a love for all mankind so they will teach their own.
Our daughters now we need to teach, stand strong and beleive
she is equal to mankind and with your love she will survive.
Dear God please bless this world we built and one day leave our young;
That they our strong and will survive our world that's gone so wrong.
