The Way It Was
The world we’ve all lived in since day one Is the place where the world has begun. We’ve always lived in this beautiful place, But it was not always a full-speed race.
Everyone is racing for something that may not be there, Disregarding whom they hurt and scare No one cares how people feel or who they really are, In their eyes, we are all the same.
The world is full of violence and pain; everyone is just playing a game.
Once, the world was full of peace and love
Once, it contained all the above.
Once, people became violent and greedy.
Once, we evolved a peace treaty.
The world is cruel, and people only care about what they want and need.
People used to love, but now the world is full of greed. We're like snakes and mice.
No one in the world is kind or nice.
This is not the way things have to be.
The change can start with you and me.
A little kindness is all it takes To end the cruelty and hate.
