Paper & Pen

How could I sleep with all of the noise Right outside my window? I just cant ignore it But where am I supposed to go? I start listening Try to understand I can hear them screaming, every woman child and man Start to pray to God But Im only talking to myself Oh Im on a mission Got to do it under stealth The angles come to protect me I ask them where they have been How do I save the world When Im equipped with just paper and pen? Show them, they said, show them the way Back to having balance But Im not sure If I can meet this challenge This world today Is just way to cynical Me saying Im not Makes me hypocritical I have no super powers No mask, no cape I dont have a secret lair Of which to escape No super strength Or able to see through walls Cant shoot beams of energy Or extract metal claws I have asked myself this question Over and over again How am I to save the world With just a paper and pen?
