Time to Die

What's Wrong with the World Today?

Debby Alten
Yesterday I heard a cry
From a world about to die
Black and white
Segregation
People dying
Drug addiction

On the news
It's the same old thing
People wondering what tomorrow brings
Cross the world
War rages on
How much longer will this go on?

We've have destruction by the hand
What stood tall now lays low
Its grip is loosened from the land
But when will we ever let go

What's this fire that kindles men's soul?
It burns so hot inside
Live and let die is all we know
Till it's time for us to die

What's wrong with the world today?
Live and let die is what they say
(no, no, no, no)
It doesn't have to be this way

    The "fire" is within people not something given to them.
