The World Over

(Verse)
What happened to this world, we seem to have lost all control
The violence more unfurled, anywhere it can take your soul
The children used to play, but now there off fighting a war
What once was far away, has brought itself to our front door

(Pre Chorus)
What can I do
Nothing to do
But sit and watch

(Chorus)
I’m still trying
Trying to understand why
Why we cause so much pain
We lay it all out with a stain
Then we all die in vain


(Verse)
What happened to this world, I wanna fly to distant stars
And land on a new world. A place to forget all these scars
I’ll sit and watch above, as the world below it tears apart
I’ll give myself a shove, and give myself a brand new start

(Pre Chorus)
What can I do
Nothing to do
But sit and watch

(Chorus)
I’m still trying
Trying to understand why
Why we cause so much pain
We lay it all out with a stain
Then we all die in vain
All fingers point to blame
Blame the helpless and poor
By all the rich who pour
Blood money down the drain

Nice lyrics, really like the theme to them
