THE WORLD IS WHAT WE ARE
THE WORLD IS WHAT WE ARE
Rumbling roses and deafening noises
People running stamping on one another
Running for refuge across all borders
Hope scattered in the rubble of wars
A dead woman clutching little child to her chest
Protecting her little girl even in death
Somebody pulls away the crying baby
Pats her back and says
" I am here, I am here "
Don't cry baby don't cry"
The baby calms down
Unaware of the world around
We all are to be blamed for every war
Every chaos, every grief
Our nationalism , our prejudices
Our gods, our ideals, our selfishness
Aggression of groups and the nations
All exhaling deceit and violence
Benumbed by our daily lives
We have lost the value of love
The baby calms down
Unaware of the world around
We all are to be blamed for every war
Every chaos, every grief
Our nationalism , our prejudices
Our gods, our ideals, our selfishness
Aggression of groups and the nations
All exhaling deceit and violence
Benumbed by our daily lives
We have lost the value of love
Lost the empathy
We have lost the sense of innocence
The quality of simplicity
We are the creators of this violent society
Past is a big bag of ashes
Yesterday is the great-grandmother gone forever
Tomorrow is a lady sitting uptight waiting
For what and why
Today has to understand the essence of innocence
The power of simplicity
Today needs to be fearless
Brave to accept the mistakes
To improve the waning world
We must negate the immature nonsense
Created by some and followed by some
We need to work
We have lost the sense of innocence
The quality of simplicity
We are the creators of this violent society
Past is a big bag of ashes
Yesterday is the great-grandmother gone forever
Tomorrow is a lady sitting uptight waiting
For what and why
Today has to understand the essence of innocence
The power of simplicity
Today needs to be fearless
Brave to accept the mistakes
To improve the waning world
We must negate the immature nonsense
Created by some and followed by some
We need to work
Work from within ourselves
Because we are the world...
Because we are the world...
The world is what we are
