Seeing crime everywhere.
I look around. I stop and stare.

Don't know what this world's become.
I pray above. Thy Kingdom come.

See that man? He is poor.
But they pass by. They slam the door.

Drugs and crime.
What else is new? ****, war, abortion rules.

Stealing, killing, and false dealing.
Unclean foods prevent our healing.

Don't know what this world's become.
I pray above. Thy Kingdom come.

Hurricane, storm and bad weather.
Takes that much to bring together?

Come on now who are we fooling?
Rebuild it all to bring self-ruin.

See the rich take from the poor.
Have the wealth, but they want more!

I see it all. I hang my head.
Should I give up or fight instead?

Seeing crime everywhere.
I look around. I stop and stare.

Don't know what this world's become.
I pray above. Thy Kingdom come.
