Where is the love that we use to know?
Where’re the lives that use to grow?
Where is the joy that use to glow?
The gentle smiles that set life aglow

Where’s beauty for our young ones to see?
Where’s life for the creatures in the sea?
You know the air was once clean and free?
Can you now understand my plea?

Here, there, everywhere
Lives are taken without fear
No more is a thing held dear
Here, there, everywhere
Not an ear left to care
And life has become hard to bear

Can we turn the dark hands of time?
When killing was seen as a crime
Stop the ruins, the tragedies in time
Else the doom will catch up sometime
