What's Happening

What's happening?

Things are getting worse by the day 
What's happening is the only question left to say 
We are living in a world ,
That is not ok 
We display 
What we think the world wants to see 
It's hurting us both you and me 
For us to see what's going on 
Police gunning down 
Whether we are right or wrong
Mother's crying everyday
Fighting for justice in every way 
People pulling out guns 
Like its for fun  
Now no one can enjoy 
To afraid they may have to run 
Now politics coming up 
With all kinds of stuff 
 So I say this not to be distracting
I try to enlighten you on what's happening

What's happening to this world 
It's going up in a twirl
What's happening let's see 
How we can bring peace
 

People working 
Just to get by
Can't even make enough to survive
The cost of living going up 
Sometimes we get stuck 
We get comfortable
Enough is enough 
We need to build a brand 
Do all we can 
To let people know 
We have the upper hand 
The hand is upper 
Provide the supper 
Break the bread 
Help out disciple's
That's what Jesus said 
How can we bring peace
To a destructive place 
How can we bring it back to ease 
How can all this violence cease 


What's happening to this world 
It's going up in a twirl
What's happening let's see 
How we can bring peace

Bridge
When will it come 
Where there is no harm 
When will we ever see 
The world peace 
(Repeat 1x)

What's happening to this world 
It's going up in a twirl
What's happening let's see 
How we can bring peace
(Repeat until chorus fades)
