I was thinking about life and death today How we all could vanish from the very spot We are in because no one can outrun death It doesn't wait for anyone. It's really scary, honestly I will admit I am afraid of death and dying. But we all will eventually, and we all could tonight or tomorrow So why do we have so much hate within our souls? Why do we bash, break, and steal people's hearts... and dignity I wish that I could wake up tomorrow and see strangers holding hands Or laughing together Healing, touching, loving people's hearts But we are far away from love This country we call great and free I will pray tonight for all of us, Lord please, be with me.
