What Kind Of World Lyrics

What Kind Of World lyrics

What kind of world is this
I'm afraid to walk these streets alone
What
kind of world is this
Where the commonplace is a broken home
What kind of
world

What kind of world is this
Where the law determines life or
death
          for your unborn child
What kind is world is this
We
follow the images
          that mark these times
And in this
world

Chorus: I don't want to be
Solitary, solitary, no

What
kind of world is this
Do we so believe in
          every story that
we've sold
What kind of world is this
Where we welcome children
      
    but we shun the old
And in this world

Chorus

What kind of
world is this
There's someone with your name
           sleeping on the
street tonight
 What kind of world
We turn our eyes away from lovers
 
         but we gather for a fight
And in this world

I don't want to
be solitary

(One of my many prayers for more
compassion and
forgiveness in our lives.)

"The quality of mercy is not strained
It
falleth like the gentle rain from heaven
It is twice blessed
It blesseth
he who gives and he who receives"

--Edward Devere, 17th Earl of Oxford
(aka William Shakespeare)
