It’s a lonely empty world out there!

Sure it makes no sense to your ears

‘cos statistics hold sufficient claim to a certain 7 billion souls walking the globe

Yet like my creator all I see is a big void

An empty nothingness, wish I could call forth the brightness like He did but I’m no Edison

No! I simply do not have that capacity, I am an inductor

You see the very same curse that robs this world of its fullness

is what right now invades my consciousness

I am living proof to the thick darkness that lurks in obvious sight

permit me to call this day-night.

 

There is a wickedness rising, a wickedness that chokes the very light out of humanity,

Fostering death rates, murder, suicide its crazy!

Hurt, pain, hatred is raging!

A wickedness is rising and there’s no one fighting

I thought He said there’s an army rising

I thought He said these are the light of the world shining

I thought He said when we say our prayers humbly and change from our ways totally

Then He’ll our land wholly and remove this anomaly we have come to accept as living

Listen!

 

Something, something has gone abysmally wrong!

Something must have been lost cos as years add up to decades, ages

It seems all we refer to are the good old days is it me or do we speak as though the best of our lives are behind us

Are we only decreasing, our earth depleting our hopes descending

Something has gone abysmally wrong

Isn’t it obvious we can’t see any more ‘cos an eye for an eye has left us all blind

So when we are hurt we suddenly drop to our lowest animalistic nature

even though all we stand to gain is war.

Something has gone abysmally wrong

This culture of selfishness we seem to daily be preaching

Today breeds the darkness we’re inhabiting

And the satisfaction we so earnestly crave eludes our reach

Can’t we see that something must have gone abysmally wrong,

We are lacking the most important of them all,

We have lost focus on what makes us one.

 

Sure you can speak in unknown tongues and prophecy,

your spiritual discernment at an all-time high

Sure you can divide this word of truth and sing effortlessly through its parts

You can raise the dead and move mountains still you lack the greatest of all

call it, Poetic Justice

‘cos the day this world turned its back on true love we struck a void

And so long have we tried to fill it up

still we would stand in broad daylight amidst a budding crowd

and a lonely empty world it still will be, the darkness ever so real.

 

So let there be light

Let’s look past ourselves our needs to be met

Let the church of God take a stand and shine to the farthest

Let caring return to the streets, the beauty of living be once more seen in our giving

Let forgiveness set our hearts at peace our unity so strong it defeats our differences

Let brotherly love continue

Let harmony be the tune to which we sing to

Let the light of God flow through and the land be more inhabited with the brightness of His love

Let’s hold hands together, stand as one, brother and sister

Let us rise and unwavering army with one heart, one mind, one enemy

Let the darkness know there is army rising to break every chain! break every chain! break every chain!

Till victory at last we’re proclaiming!

Let the evil stay forever buried in the past that the better days may come before us

Let living be no more a struggle but a testimony

Let this promise land I speak of no more be just an ideal possibility

Let these last few lines represent our daily lives

For truly we can have heaven on earth before our very eyes

When we let love lead the way

Every day.
