Can You Explain ?

What's happening God, can you explain

Why our world is falling apart?

Tells us where we are going wrong

So we may apply a brand new start.

Our children they won't listen

Or at least it appears that way.

They think they have all the answers

And a better world they will have one day

Our crime rate is up so high

No more room our jails will hold,

People are starting to rebel for their safety

To where hostility will soon unload

What's happening God, can you explain

These civil wars that are going on,

Have we lost our compassion completely

Don't we know that this is wrong?

I know there will be no answer

For all minds don't think as one,

Human behaviour has changed so drastically

We'll be lucky to see tomorrows sun.

It's bad enough when countries fight

Each other for control,

But when countries fight amongst themselves

They soon forget their humanity role

What's happening God, can you explain?

The worlds population's gone sky high

We're in each others way at times

With no room to pass us by.

Part of our world starves to death

While the other part lavishes in greed

Why as humans do we sit back

And not help the mouths that we should feed?

Mabye it's not my place

To say the words I did,

But I can see the pot is boiling

So I'll carefully replace the lid.

It makes me very angry at times

To see our world in such a state,

Is this all planned or necessary

Or is it just an uncontrollable fate?

Tell me God it's not as bad

As I make it out to be,

Tell me there is food for all

And wars we will never see.

Tell me crime will vanish

And our children will hear once more

Tell me the world will change

For what you hold in store

I know that you can't tell me

These questions that I ask,

For it's like trying to guess the identity

Of a clown behind his mask.

So now I look for everyday

To bear sunshine and never rain

But then there's times I ask myself

What's happening God, can you explain
