The sky is darkening, smoke in the air,
Another city falls in silent despair,
Echoes of violence drown out the cries,
And we're all just watching as the innocence dies.
We thought we'd heal with every year,
But we're building walls and burning fear,
Every border, every line drawn in the sand,
Keeping us apart, it's out of hand.
It's a broken world, spinning off track,
Every step forward, we're pulling it back,
With wars and hate, we're tangled in lies,
Can't see the future through bloodstained eyes.
We once had dreams, now we're clenching fists,
Peace is a promise lost in the mist,
Every flag raised, every gun drawn,
Another chance for love that's gone.
Children inherit the scars we create,
Growing up in the shadow of hate,
They don't know kindness, they're told to fight,
Left in the dark, no glimpse of light.
It's a broken world, spinning off track,
Every step forward, we're pulling it back,
With wars and hate, we're tangled in lies,
Can't see the future through bloodstained eyes.
Are we too far gone to find our way?
Is there a chance we'll see a brighter day?
Or will we keep tearing down, piece by piece,
Killing the hope, silencing peace?
It's a broken world, spinning off track,
Every step forward, we're pulling it back,
With wars and hate, we're tangled in lies,
Can't see the future through bloodstained eyes.
