THE WORLD TODAY

THE WORLD TODAY

Listening to the news
I find nothing good at all,
From snipers to bombings
And even a football brawl.

There's not much hope
With fear to face each day;
When there is hate around us
And we have a price to pay!

Perhaps the only way
That we can survive it all;
Is to turn off the news
And just ignore its call.

Yet we all live here
Together in the world today
We need to make it better
If we can just find a way.

As I sit here alone tonight
I hear a car motor roar
Someone's up in arms -
And I don't know what for.

Makes me kind of nervous,
For I've seen a lot of grief;
What this old world needs now
Is some God-given relief!

This old world is not so bad
If people would get smart;
If they'd see the good in life
And let it in their heart.
