Take this world from me

Constantly world peace is a fantasy
hate thy neighbour as thyself is the reality
when will our differences be our unity
when will love replace the hate that's inside of me

if you can't control yourself you will never trust
feel for the heart beating down deep beneath the rust
i need something to help me through this anxiety
i need to run far away and find eternity

we live in a world with no hope, love or honesty
come to a place where we'll all live in harmony
come take my hand, take my heart, take this world from me
come and I'll show you how this world was meant to be

compassion is never often felt
those covered in dirt can't see themselves
