This World We've Been Given

by Staci   Aug 29, 2006


What's happened to this place?
lies masking every face
not knowing who you are
society has lowered the bar
living in a life a lies
looking up to darkened skies
a smile a laugh to hide the pain
has everyone gone insane?
but here we go, the challenge is this
just live your life withouth ignorant's bliss
look up to other, not down with hate
change your pitiful sorry fate
too worried about your seamless past
to realize that life doesn't last
not near as long as we want it to be
is anybody listening to me?
are you hearing all my desperate calls
trying to save to this world as it quickly falls
looking around to see the destruction
and all the children needing instruction
or maybe just a friend to care
someone they know is really there
in this life of shattered dreams
all you can hear are the piercing screams
of families torn apart
and people with a broken heart
but here we are in the world today
where lives are so quickly thrown away
so many found with a knife in hand
willing to take that final stand
this is what we have to work with
life isn't just a horrible myth
but as our time comes quickly to end
maybe we'll forgive, and let our hearts mend
