The World That We Live In

Sometimes this world just discourages me
I wake up to a new day not knowing what I will see

I see so much hate in everybody’s eyes
The people on the news acting like it is all a big surprise

Our society has become such a disgrace
But then I look up and I see your face

I see all the love that shines through your smile
I wish the world could feel that every once in a while

And on the days that I am swallowed up in hate
I look into your eyes and am reminded of the fate

That we all share if we cannot compare
To the loving in your face.
