World of Sin

When I was young
I asked my Mom
Why is there such pain?
Why’s there such sorrow?
Why all the wars
Where powerful reign?
From the beginning
Is this the way the world was made?
She said it’s fulfilling the promise
The price was paid

But how can we stay
In this world of sin?
Where reason, desire
Are both on fire
When we can have a new day
When we go within
Let the ego expire
Let the light take us higher
Higher and higher to mend
This world of sin

So why all this violence
Kids on kids they’re downed in the street?
With hands that are empty
So many people with nothing to eat
I’ve searched all these years
To the find the answers
Nobody gave
I spoke to the preachers
They said son
Just kneel and be saved

But how can we stay
In this world of sin?
Where reason, desire
Are both on fire
When we can have a new day
When we go within
Let the ego expire
Let the light take us higher
Higher and higher to mend
This world of sin

It’s not a dream, I know they’ll be
A world of peace and plenty all are free
We raise our hearts
Our consciousness
And send love out to heal and bless
The universe is like a mirror
Reflecting love the pain will disappear
In it’s place, come joy and grace
The more to life we all embrace
