My Heart Broke For Humanity

by Sarah Ann   Mar 11, 2007


My heart broke for humanity

For the weeping eyes of bloody tears
Plastered smiles on the faces of children
Who know not what is happening
But know enough to stay strong
When everything is wrong.

My heart broke for humanity

For the wandering souls of broken roads
Without a care in the world...praying
Perhaps one day, we will understand
What has brought them to their woe?
Or maybe...Ignorance will never let us know.

My heart broke for humanity

For the victims of an endless war
Stripped of innocence and freedom
Pulled from loving families
Torn between decisions
But I admire their strength
Something I cannot fathom...and so I cry

My heart broke for humanity.

Everyday I wonder what it will bring
There are two roads life can turn on
And I whispered to myself today,
Are we a proud civilization?
Who ever wanted this?

I pray for the day the world would see,

This heart weeps for humanity.
