What Kind of World

What kind of world is this I'm afraid to walk these streets alone What kind of world is this Where the commonplace is a broken home What kind of world What kind of world is this Where the law determines life or death for your unborn child What kind is world is this We follow the images that mark these times And in this world Chorus: I don't want to be Solitary, solitary, no What kind of world is this Do we so believe in every story that we've sold What kind of world is this Where we welcome children but we shun the old And in this world Chorus What kind of world is this There's someone with your name sleeping on the street tonight What kind of world We turn our eyes away from lovers but we gather for a fight And in this world I don't want to be solitary (One of my many prayers for more compassion and forgiveness in our lives.) "The quality of mercy is not strained It falleth like the gentle rain from heaven It is twice blessed It blesseth he who gives and he who receives" --Edward Devere, 17th Earl of Oxford (aka William Shakespeare) --- What Kind Of World - Michael Ruff
