The world
So much unrest
Mankind seems to be failing the test
We are not at our best
Crime soaring
Voices roaring
Everyone wants to fight
Doesn't seem right
I don't understand
This is not how it was planned
I see the hate
So much of late
Violence ruling
who we think we are fooling
So many dying
We are no longer flying
Falling
Foreward motion is stalling
Going in the wrong way
With the future we play
Puts a tear in my eye
Falling from the sky
I do not understand why
Fake
Such a mistake
Mankind sinking in it's wake
Humanity could go so far
Reaching for a star
Just have to survive all the hate
Change this fate
Leave it behind
Bring peace to the mind
Be kind
I have faith in my heart
Mankind cannot stand apart.
But I feel fear
Think war is near
Too bad
Makes me sad
Something has to give
Let humanity live
Life is priceless
Hate should be lifeless
Step above the hate
It is not to late
I don't like the way
The world is today
My dreams are in the knowing
Stop hate from growing
The pain is showing
Compassion needs to stay
Let love lead the way
