A Cry for Help


The world just keeps on spinning,

Humanity just keeps on winning.

The trees are dying,

The children crying,

Oh won’t somebody please make a difference.

 

Hate is unbeatable,

Chains unbreakable,

Hearts unfixable,

Dreams unachievable,

Oh won’t somebody please make a difference.

 

Fear in their eyes,

No wisdom from the wise,

Drowning in these lies,

Destruction is no surprise,

Oh won’t somebody please make a difference.

 

The future is near,

That much is clear,

Holding on to hopes so dear,

Dear Father can’t you hear?

Oh won’t somebody please make a difference.

 

Please stop the wars,

We can’t take it anymore.

We’re losing the strength to hold on,

Our hope is almost gone.

Oh won’t somebody please make a difference.

 

Will there be a new beginning,

For this world full of sinning?

Or will it crumble at fall,

Into nothing at all?

Oh won’t somebody please make a difference.
