I set out with my intentions
Pure like snow across the plain
Aims to share my thoughts to others
Off in places far away
In these travels I soon learned
The outside world is cold like rain
Bitter people, bad credentials
Life like this puts god to shame
The broken towns and hostile neighbors
Haunting people, losing friends
Everything is in a wreck
No-one wants to make amends
So-called leaders fueled by greed
Exploit their power setting trends
Confrontations all too common
Horrid deeds are now intrinsic
I see people falling to their knees
I watch and gasp at what I see
This world bogged down with vanity
It's not just me, it's everything
My intentions pure like snow
Are obsolete in here and now
Kindness foreign, war is rising
Commotion disrupts the flow
Time is halting at a fault line
And it's spreading round the world
Such distress is not a haven
For ideals pure like snow
I see people falling to their knees
I watch and gasp at what I see
This world bogged down with vanity
It's not just me, it's everything
Stop this now
We can return to living
All this foul
It can all turn to peace
Bring this down
No other day more timely
No more sorrow
We can be pure like snow
I see people falling to their knees
I watch and gasp at what I see
This world bogged down with vanity
It's not just me, it's everything
