The woes of life
we pass them on,
'cause if we can't see them
then the problem is gone.
We shudder when
we hear transgression
but we all watch on
and then take our confession.
Now that we're forgiven
we can carry on
cause if we can't see it
then the problem is gone.
The world we know
could be much better run,
removing the barrier,
deserting the gun.
Renounce all the greed
and announce it out loud.
That up until now
we cannot be proud.
Or we can stand still,
and not move on.
Cause if we pretend
then the problem is gone.
Could we stand together
and perhaps all refuse
to join in with hate
and reject racist views.
This is maybe the only
way that we can move on.
Cause if we all join together
then the problem is gone.
