Horrendous Times

I think we´ve all heard of this. I have no words for the horror. Not only the one in Paris but also in Beirut and every other city, every day.

Horrendous times upon us
we struggle to make things right
it´s a huge fight
what was once peace
now is war

we know the enemy
yet, we don´t know who
we know they´re here
yet, we don´t know where

what times are this?
so sad, so bad
good times, we miss
cause now they´re mad

we fight, we think
we argue, we discuss
we cry, we talk
no one see´s, these times call for action

we must take action
yet, how?
we´ve lost control
heads aching

everyday people die
all over the world
from evil and from bad blood
cruel, without mercy

we´ve lost sight of everyone
every innocent soul
which has to die each day
but now there´s no time for delay

we must open our eyes
to everything
we must see
what cruelty is set free
everyday

then we must take quick action
not risking more innocent lives
to stop this cruelty
this is the time

remember each soul
which lost its life
so beautiful and unique
now as cold as ice

let us keep those people close
close to our heart
let´s stick together
let´s share our hope
because these are hard, horrendous times
