What's going on
What's going on in our society
We think we can cover up the truth with some lies
We hide the pain behind a smile
Put the things we don't want to face locked away in a file
There's shootings every week on the news
This isn't the life I would like to choose
We worry about what's on our face
Rather than enjoying this beautiful place
We our killing ourselves and each other
Just take the time to love your neighbor and mother
We live behind a screen
Pretending it's the only thing we've ever seen
Are we really living how we were created to
Or are we just living like fools
While we are worshipping money
There's people begging for money
Millions are starving
While we are at home with our phones charging
I know I am talking about things people don't like to say
But I just want everyone here to see another day
Maybe there's still hope
Instead of judging everyone under a microscope
We are broken people
But I have faith that one day it will all peaceful
