In This World

Such a horrible place the world can be
Full of pain and misery
Where is the life that we once knew?
Where are the heroes we looked up to?

Could it be that growing
Possibly tears us down?
Could it be that sanity
Possibly can't be found?

In a world where we stand alone
With no place we can call home
Is there a light that we can find?
Is there such thing as peace of mind?

Childhood innocence has come and gone
And we can't bring them back
All we have now are the memories
Of the happiness we now lack

Where is hope when we need it?
Where has kindness gone?
In a place so dark and cruel
Why do we go on?

The answers will remain unsaid
But the questions will still drift in our head
Will we make it and find our calling?
Or will we continue falling?
