The world today is scary

The world today is scary
There's lunatics in charge 
The views of people vary
And egos are enlarged 

Why can't we share a vision 
A world where we all live
And make it our own mission
To understand and to forgive 

We all are our own enemies
We're quick to judge and mock
If we quickly forget memories 
We all will run amok 

We need to build a future
Together as one kind
To stitch and mend our suture
And start to use our mind 

To build a safer place
We need to make a plan
We need to show good grace
And live as one big clan 

If we do not unite
Our time will surely come 
We'll end in one big fight
And our world will come undone 

There will be no redemption 
The war will end us all
The will be no exemption 
And the human race will fall
