My Hobbies

TODAY I SIT SPEECHLESS
STARING INTO THE DARK
WONDERING WHY SO MANY
CAN'T SEE THE PARK

THE TOWERS HAVE TUMBLED
BLUE SKIES ARE GREY
HUGE CLOUDS OF DUST
CHASE LIGHT AWAY

CRIES OF LAUGHTER
HAVE TURNED TO TEARS
LOVED ONES HAVE LOST
THEIR INNOCENT YEARS

PILES OF RUBBLE
LITTER THE STREETS
SCREAMS OF DEATH
TUG AT THEIR FEET

SHADOWS OF FEAR
WHY WAS THIS DONE?
WHAT DID WE DO?
WHY DID THEY COME?

WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
IS EVERYONE'S GUESS
WONDER HOW THE OFFICIALS
WILL CLEAN UP THIS MESS?

ARE WE GOING TO WAR?
HOW MANY WILL DIE?
GOD SEND YOUR ANGELS
GIVE PEACE A TRY!

FIND AND DETAIN
THE EVIL ABROAD
BRING THEM TO JUSTICE
BY THOSE WHO WERE SAWED

AWAY FROM THEIR LOVED ONES
FAMILY AND FRIENDS
LET THESE BE THE PEOPLE
TO DELIVER AND OFFEND

THE ONES WHO WRECKED HAVOC
ON PEACEFUL SOIL
BURY THEM IN ASHES
BOIL THEM IN OIL

THOSE WHO ARE ORPHANED
MAKE JUSTICE PREVAIL
SHOW EVIL NO MERCY
DON'T PUT THEM IN JAIL!

EYE FOR AN EYE
TOOTH FOR A TOOTH
THEY KILLED OUR PEOPLE
SHOW THEM THE BOOTH

WAR IS AN OUTRAGE
MORE PEOPLE WILL DIE
SUNSHINE AND STARS
WILL FALL FROM THE SKY

GOD LEND YOUR HANDS
HEAL THOSE IN NEED
RAISE UP YOUR ARMS
LET PEACE BE OUR FEED

BIRDS SING FROM HEAVEN
SOULS LOST TODAY
SETTLE THIS PEACEFULLY
DON'T TAKE MORE AWAY!

RISE UP YEE GENTLE
THE MEEK AND THE MILD
OVERPOWER ALL EVIL
THE LOVE OF A CHILD

DISASTER HAS CRUSHED US
EVIL ABOUNDS
ANGER FLOWS RAMPANT
ON NATURE'S GROUNDS

WE'VE COME TOGETHER
IN SORROW AND STRIFE
LET'S COME TOGETHER
LET'S GIVE PEACE LIFE!!
