The Human Race
There is seriously something wrong
With the entire human race
Common sense has left the premises
And ignorance has taken its place
I take a look around me
And everywhere I look
The ones who hide from reality
Are in every corner and nook
These people walk around blind
To the reasons we all exist
To laugh would be absurd
But there are times I can’t resist
Some of them are so blinded
By their ignorance in truth
That there’s no hope left for those
Who refuse to believe in You
The rest of us can preach
And do our best to teach
But there’s only so much you can do
For those not wanting to be reached;
I pray that you forgive them
They know not what they do
Their heads are filled with nothing
That would really matter to You;
Like whom they know
And where they’ve been
Or what they can do with their hands
If it’s real and they can hold it
That’s all these people can get
For to have to deal with reality
Seems to leave them with anxiety
And talk they’d rather not
They’d rather hide in their ignorant world
Maybe wonder of you from time to time
But if it’s not real to them
They’ll only listen to a lie.
