SO MUCH DESPAIR

I look around, I see the world’s in despair
People can’t even afford to drive anywhere
----mama can’t put food on the table
Daddy’s working all that he’s able
My next door neighbors house just got foreclosed
He’s sleeping in his car until he gets towed….
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What’s happening to this world? (so much despair)
Oh what’s happening to this world? (so much despair)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I watch the news, more awful things to report
Innocent people shot, just walking to their car
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Poisoned food on every shelf
More diseases from all parts of the world
Suicide is on the rise
Home invasion, murder is high
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What’s happening to this world? (so much despair)
Oh what’s happening to this world? (so much despair)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bridge:
We’ve got to hold on to everything we can
Not our possessions cause’ they don’t mean a thing
We’ve got to keep all the love in our lives
Don’t let these bad times take that away from us
Take that away from us
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Chorus:
So tell me what’s happening to this world?
Tornados, earthquakes, floods and wars prevail
Is this a message? Something we’re supposed to learn?
As we watch people suffering, watch the fires burn.
