I look, and wonder why

This world of ours

Has come so far into the

Clutches of this "progress"

As disease is cured, our race finds another

Through methods known as

Foolish through the years and years

Of past

As criminals are freed to kill

Another individual who then

Becomes statistics on a

Bureacratic file

As justice cries, it folds

We feel society turn

To ways barbaric from the

Ancient ways of old

We ride upon the wings of sorrow

We sail the stormy sea

We ride upon the wings of sorrow

Into our destiny

See me, I'm a different kind

Outcast of society

Infirm of mind

As I gaze upon society

It fills me with despair

Our leaders worship guns and missiles

Messengers of death

And citizens but pawns in

Politicians' foolish acts

The ones to blame are hidden

Too scared to face the ones

Who gave their life

Who cares? It's time to take a stand

Through peace and love

The world can reach Eden again

it's time to stop the foolish wars

And pray for lasting peace

Pray the world will never

Ride the sullen wings again
