Show me the Way
Can you find another reason,
To say no to me.
I will wait another season,
For blinded eyes to see.
All the world around us,
With fire in the skies,
Crashing down before us,
With pain in our eyes.
Can you show me how to make it,
Can you show me the right way,
Can you show me how to fake it,
And make you smile today.
I just love the glow of your face,
I just love the way the world stands in place,
Spinning around the sun,
And our time has just begun.
Has the world gone mad,
Because it's written in the stars.
My heart has become sad,
I can no longer hide the scars.
Temptaion is running rampant,
Right before our eyes.
The disease of humanity,
Will be our demise.
The time has come at last,
To make our final stand.
We all must stand fast,
Standing hand in hand.
The war with destroy us all,
But it must not destroy our hearts.
The ashes fall down,
And cover the ground.
All the world is not a stage,
our lives are not a play.
There are no prescripted lines,
And our future we can change.
We must all take this moment,
To change the way we think.
We can all find refuge,
There is no need for a tank.
