State Of The World |
| Five A.M. |
| rise and shine |
| To feed the baby before he starts to cry |
| No rest, no time to play |
| 15, the mother is a runaway |
| No time for dreams or goals |
| Pressure is so strong |
| Her body she has sold so her child can eat |
| What is happening to this world we live in In our home and other lands |
| Drugs and crime spreadin’on the streets |
| People can’t find enough to eat |
| Now our kids can’t go out and play |
| That’s the state of the world today |
| Lil’Johnny all alone |
| His only friend, the doll he carries with him |
| Goes to school each and every day |
| To be teased because he has no place to stay |
| This young and homeless boy feels his life is worthless |
| Instead of suicide he cries himself to sleep |
| And it’s happenin’to this world we live in There’s got to be a better way |
| BRIDGE: |
| Can’t give up hope now |
| Let’s weather the storm together |
