The world is an Eden
A place of hope and love and loss
The world is a sanctuary
Beneath the trees and grass and moss
The world is a provider
Of shelter, food, and drink
The world is our knowledge
What we hear and see and think
What is the world to us
If not what is above?
A place to share and live
Among hope, grace, and love
What is this shadow creeping near?
This dark display of hate
It smothered us so long ago
No one knows the date
Now the world is our prison
Filled with politics and lies
Where men in suits control us all
Control who lives and dies
Gone are days of hope and light
Of faith in mother earth
Here are days of dark of night
Where evil things are birthed
What has happened to us all?
Money, greed consumes
Who began this spiral down?
Our fate ahead does loom
Our sanctuary, our Eden
We poison everyday
Stop it now or watch it end
To this what will you say?
