We’re standing on the brink of something looking really dark
Nobody knows where it will end or where did it really start
The world seems to spiralling, every way we turn
We don’t appear to have paid heed to lessons already learnt
People facing daily struggles just to feed their families
Politicians appearing to blank out the community casualties
World leaders butting heads like angry charging bulls
Our eyes completely blinkered by the wool they’ve pulled
I’m staring over the precipice and I just can’t see the light
I don’t want to see any more countries preparing to fight
Does anyone have the answer to find some lasting peace?
We sit and watch the dream of lower living costs decrease.
We mustn’t give up hope - it’s all we now have left
In many ways, in our country, we are still truly blessed
I hope the path to brighter days will open up ahead
Before too many more innocent people end up dead.
