What In the World?
look around you and what do you see?
dirt? mud? a town? or maybe a tree?
poisoned earth that once was so green
causing more damage than is seen
the world is changing because of us
causing more damage by cars factory's and the bus
the grip on the world is like a vice
getting tighter and tighter because of our device
the world screams out please no more
yet we carry on polluting our skies and shores
the earth has now been long forgotten
stealing it's tree's land and cotton
yet what we do not seem to know
more carbon dioxide has no where to go
when we cut down there tree
no oxygen can ever be
we are killing ourselves and we don't know
we must of reached our all time low
we laugh it up and sing our songs
soon enough we wont belong
i must admit we are not all the same
some know about suffering and the pain
charities try and raise the money
but people laugh and find it funny
what a cruel world we live in today
all we think about is having it our way
it's time for change, it's time to act
so let us now make a pack
promise to never harm anyone
to protect the world in what we have become
to honor and commit to what we have vowed
and make everyone on earth proud
