The World So Blue
I soar above the heavens, now,
yet still I feel so sad, somehow.
For as I'm gazing down at earth,
I fear mankind has lost his worth—
Our planet looks so blue from here,
the skies are cloudy, dark and unclear.
I'll shed a tear, one single drop,
cover heartaches, pray it will stop.
My spirit has left its mortal shell.
I'm bound for heaven, maybe hell?
I won't be here to see the pain,
humanity's crying falls like rain.
Kids stay in, they miss so much fun,
before they know it, summer's done,
all that sunshine just gone to waste,
Xbox and Wii are more their tastes.
People don't trust strangers anymore,
they cower in fear behind closed doors.
Old man on the road, they'll surely pass.
Assessments have never been so crass.
Homeless lie dying and cold in the street,
babies with not enough food to eat,
children with mom, however, no dad...
Where is the happiness we once had?
I fly high beside the silvery moon
our world, a tear-filled water balloon,
yes, I'm up here, you're below, 'tis true—
I have never seen the world so blue...
