State of the World

Humanity is calling out, crying in despair.

For somebody to lend a hand, for somebody to care.

 

Hear the children's voices, calling out with no answer back.

For their wings have been shattered, and a family they lack.

 

For nothing but in the name of "peace", a peace that will never come.

Once you tread on someone's life, the hurt can never be undone.

 

Oh the state of the world is gruesome, each day bringing more of the poor.

People are overcome by sadness, not even enjoying their days anymore.

 

People must learn how to survive, and live through just another day,

While others are relaxing without any worry, because they are so far away.

 

"Out of sight out of mind." Is this statement true to you?

While others are suffering so far away, what are you going to do?

 

Can we just ignore the people, crying out for a helping hand?

Why can't we stand up in protest, for peace throughout the land?
