In This World We Live
In this world we live
There is danger and fear
And there is sorrow and pain
Everything is taken away
There are people without a home
That goes without knowing where their next meal will come from
There are people who have lost their loved ones
There are those with nothing left but their faith and dignity
They live in this world that we live
We live in the same world
But yet we never notice
The pain others go through
We sit here wrapped up in our own little world
Just going through the motions day to day.
We never stop to think
About the people sitting on the street
We pass them by saying
Well its their fault their there anyway
Why should I help those in need
It is not my problem
Not my burden to bear
Why should I even care
What if that was you
Sitting there all alone
With no one that cares
No one to show you any compassion
No one to lend you a hand
For it’s your fault you’re there, right?
It’s not their burden to bear
If you were the lonely
Out on the street
Having to beg at everyone’s feet
Would you want them to turn a blind eye
And pretend they don’t see your pain
We turn a blind eye to those in need
To those that suffer constantly
We never stop and think
How much just one little smile
Can change their day
We can make a change
We just need to look around
This world we live in
This world we live in
There is danger and fear
There is sorrow and pain
Everything seems to be taken away
But by the end of the day
When we step up to the plate
We take that chance to change the world
Once we do that
This world we live in
Will not be full of danger and fear
Sorrow and pain
It will all go away
We will be surrounded
By beauty and joy
We will live in harmony
With our fellow man
And in this world we live
We will be filled with peace
Once Again
