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.
