Tears for the world

 

I cry for the world in turmoil

I cry for the world in pain

I cry for the lost and lonely

Who cry in the wilderness in vane?

 

I cry for those that are grieving

For all the tears they have cried

For all the emotions they experience

For the confusion deep down inside

 

I cry when nature is abused

By mans obsession for wealth

Stripping the world of its minerals

Interfering with this planets health

 

We are destroying our environment

Many more species are now extinct

It is time we changed our attitudes

In the way we all act and think

 

We have all been given a beautiful jewel

That is spinning around in space

It is everyone’s responsibility on earth

To make this planet a better place
