The world


People don't see and don't understand how it used to be God gave us life and he can take it away easily People should come together in harmony No more wars No more fights No more innocent blood spread over us God is the key And upon our faith we will be saved And thank God for an eternity Before my eyes are opened again in a blink of eye I would wish for tragedies to end Unforgettable images that brings tears rolling down my face How bad I wish I didn't know what was happening behind the door Children, children all over the world crying in pain and not wanting more When all they need is love Infants, infants all over the world crying in pain and hoping for it to end When all they need is the chance to live To be To become To dream To be free of tragedy People, people all over the world who needs to release stress and loneliness And does what they believe is the best Whatever makes them feel the best I'd say Don't get addicted to what your body doesn't need Don't put your faith on a needle because it can take your life away Don't put your faith on a cigarette or expect the same fate Don't put your faith on plants that makes you feel like your free Your life can end as a tragedy God gave us the right to drink alcohol but not till you feel like your flying Don't abuse his right that has been given Even though you could be forgiven Don't put him in that position When I would say Give it a break and bring effort to a change Take action to make things happen Don't let life pass you by Without giving life a try To live The right way The better way God's way We live in a huge world Swirled Twirled With all kinds of people We need to take a stand Let go of the past and look into the future To live in a world with no fear of what tomorrow may come This is the world I want to live in The world that I dream about The world that I'm still waiting to come This is what I would change about the world I hope that one day people would see and would understand how it used to be...
