The struggles we face today are more trivial than those before
Education is failing, the economy is ailing and we’re still at war
It once took a village to raise a child
Now we leave them be and let them run wild
There were marches so that everything would be fair
If there is an injustice now, no one seems to care
Everyone is more concerned with their own situations
But we talk about what the next person doesn’t have in general conversation
What happened to one world, one voice
So many stuck in poverty, without any real choice
We hate each other for differences unknown
In reality the hatred for self has grown
Are we so content with the cards that are dealt
That we ignore other’s call for help
Maybe we all should give up and let ignorance run its course
Or we could find and hinder the source
At some point, someone is going to have to speak out
A ray of sun needs to shine on our doubt
Stop being satisfied with things being good enough
We must show resolve and that we were bred tough
Something has to happen but I am only one girl
But I sit back in silence and cry, “Oh what a world”
