The Darkness
The world outside is so dark and grey
I beg for a change every night I pray.
Children and women knocked down and beat
Some families struggling just to have enough to eat.
Addicts begging outside of every store
There only concern is how to get just one more
Countries are divided and falling apart
All they really wanted was a brand new start
Our children are learning to hate and be cruel
We can't even trust to send them to school
The murder and crime rates has risen so high
Mother's are grieving robbed of the chance to say goodbye
The government is powered by deceitfulness and greed
Our men being shot down left for death as they bleed
I pray for a day when we can live peacefully as before
When people turned to God you just don't see that anymore.
A change is gonna come look to the bible and you'll find
Jesus is coming back repent or be left behind
