This World
This World
The world we live in
Has become so cruel
Children are now afraid to go to school
No longer there for an education
They're fearing for their lives
Being robbed of their future
By a person in disguise
Everyday in the world
Someone is getting shot and dying
Somewhere a family is mourning and crying
Senseless deaths
Is what partaking
People no longer want to talk it out
They are using knives and gun
Why can't we go back to when people were having fun
Now days they afraid to open the door
Because they don't know what's in store
What is this world coming to
That's the question I ask
People are losing their lives and that is facts
I pray for this World
Its not safe
God intervene in this place
We are lost
Let them know who paid the cost
For us to wake up everyday
How can we forget to pray
I just don't understand man on land
To think they do it themselves and not be apart of Gods plan
This World is turning and shifting
Which way should I go
Look to the heavens for God knows
Why in this world can't we love one another
And face and be a part of a human race
why are we judging one another
By color instead of looking out for one another
Why are we still holding on to the past
Knowing that it will not last
Why is this World so care free
Why not stand up for things like humanity
This world this world could be better
If we start praying instead of taking matters
because when one loses life its sadder
Makes you madder
Yes it does
Why can't we live in a world who represents love
Instead of so much hate
Why is every minute someone dreams are robbed
Continuously hearing sobs
From the result of violence
Why is this world suffering in silence
Why are the police targeting
Our young boys
Its already a lot on their plates
They take lives and blame it on it was a mistake
Not all are like that but some are
why Target them daily
Why not try to help
Sometimes it feels like this world is by themselves
But then there are times
Where we have to pray for mankind
Because we all need prayer
We have to keep praying for a life that's unfair
In this world it could be heaven on earth
I can feel it
But that kind of feeling comes from the holy spirit
What if we reached one a person at a
Time
What if we gave out hugs instead of hatred
What if with life
We start helping
We started to change
What if we stop putting everyone at blame
Our future are the children of this world
Let's embrace all the boys and girls
Let's give them
Purpose
Let's give them vision
Let's help them through
Life decisions
Let's do this show the community
That together we can bring back unity
Let's try to decrease rest in peace shirts
Put the world back together make it work
put prayer ?? back in the school
Stand firm on his word
Listen sometimes instead of always wanting to be heard
just speaking on how I feel
With all US together this world could be healed
