35. LOST AMONG THE TEARS

 

I TAKE A LOOK AROUND ME

AT A WORLD OF GREEN AND BLUE

A WORLD SO FULL OF COLOUR

THAT’S HOME FOR ME AND YOU

A WORLD THAT HAS DESTRUCTION

VIOLENCE AND PAIN

THROUGH TIME WE KEEP ON WONDERING

WILL PEACE COME BACK AGAIN?

AND THOUGH THE YEARS MAY COME AND GO

THERE NEVER SEEMS TO BE

A TIME THAT’S TRULY PEACEFUL

AND FREE OF CRUELTY

INFLICTION CAUSED BY MANKIND

ON MANKIND OUT OF HATE

WE SHOULD JUST STOP AND TAKE A LOOK

BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE

TOMORROW IS TOO PRECIOUS

FOR SOME IT WILL NOT COME

AND THOSE OF US NOW LEFT BEHIND

THERE’S NOWHERE LEFT TO RUN

FACE UP TO REALITY

AND TRUTH THAT’S HARD TO BEAR

SEE THE HATRED IN A FACE

DOES ANYBODY CARE?

THE WORLD IS ALWAYS CRYING

CRYING OUT IN PAIN

HURTING FROM THE LACK OF CARE

THERE’S ONLY GREED AND GAIN

WHEN WILL MANKIND EVER LEARN

THE ERROR OF THEIR WAYS

OR WILL THIS BE THE WAY THEY CHOOSE

TO END THEIR LIVING DAYS

IT ONLY TAKES A LITTLE LOVE

AND ISN’T HARD TO DO

SHOW IT FOR YOUR FELLOW MAN

IT ISN’T SOMETHING NEW

IT’S LOVE THAT’S BEEN FORGOTTEN

NEGLECTED THROUGH THE YEARS

HIDDEN BY THE HATING

LOST AMONG THE TEARS.
