What has happened to the world?
We used to be a peaceful place
But now we have turned against each other
Shootings, terrorist attacks, the constant war
Very few countries at peace
Too much death and tragedy
Too many families in pain
Will we ever love again?
We may feel safe in our little hometown
But there's always that risk of a bomb coming down
This needs to stop
Let's make a change
To be at peace
And love again
