To Change It All

If only I could erase the pain,
The mind-numbing hurt,
That makes you go insane,
If only I could change it all.

If only I could make it so,
You’d never have to fear your own shadow,
Scarring you for life, filling it with things unknown,
What I’d give to change a million lives!

If only I could wrap you in love,
Repeating again and again ‘till you knew,
That there really was a God up above,
Couldn't I just keep you safe forever?

If only I could make sure you were treated right,
So, the innocent you would never know abuse…
So you could shine and shine, filling the world with light,
So you could make your own path, without fear.

If only I could make sure you got your happy-ever-after,
So you’d never know the meaning of ‘unloved’,
So you’d go everywhere, smiling and full of laughter,
If I could change the world for you, I would.

When did we humans become so heartless?
Picking on our future, without a single thought,
Filling an innocent with pure hopelessness,
Are we truly the superior race?

What I’d give you change it all,
So no twisted being touched the Earth,
Cruelly pushing people so they fall…
If only the world never learned hate.

So, here we are, killing an innocent being,
Cutting off their wings before they learn to fly,
Filling their minds with things better unseen…
If only I had the power to change it all.

Our world has become a haven for sin,
All of us pushing down people for our own selfish reasons,
Attaining material good so we feel we fit in our skin,
We are truly in a stupid and selfish race.

Each of us with our twisted beliefs,
Thinking it’s right, even if it’s wrong,
Choking ourselves so we can’t breathe,
What exactly have we become?

God, save us before we extinguish ourselves.
