What Kind Of World Would This World Be Lyrics

  Send "What Kind Of World" Ringtone to your Cell  

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)
