This wonderful world,
But is it wonderful?
Looking at the darkness,
What comes to my mind is slaughter.
Slaughter of men and
Slaughter of women,
Slaughter of children like ***** little pigs.
But when I look out,
I see lights,
Brightening up this dark starless
And gloomy night.
Emerald green and Ruby red,
Sky blue and Gold yellow,
Brightening up this moonless sky.
Wonder, has all evil gone?
Had it vanished when those lights lit up,
Or has it gone for awhile,
Will it come back with more evil?
The thought just scares me,
Makes me want to hide in the
Darkness of my mind.
But I know, this would just bring out
The inner demon in me,
Which would not know the difference
Between good and evil.
Which would turn me against the light.
Scared, I still hide, but you...
You won't leave me alone.
You will turn the lights up.
You will force me to acknowledge you,
You will take me to the brighter side.
Forgetting all my evils,
And all my demons.
Showing me there still is love,
In the world,
And in me...
I look at you, staring at the
Stars and the moon.
Am I still evil?
But I know, that is for me to decide.
Now, I hold your hand and stare
At the moon, and I realize,
What a wonderful world...
