All around us
People have fought and people will fight,
If there is dark there will we light,
Wars will be waged and wars will be won,
But people will die as always.
People have suffered and people will mourn,
There are deaths but more will be born,
Our heart inside us will always win,
But people will die as always.
People have laughed and people will cry,
There have been truths with those who lied,
Forgiveness is easy, forgetting is not,
But people will die as always.
People have been broken and people were beat,
Only because they have learned to endure the heat,
Of a thousand souls, burning bright,
But people have died as always.
People have stolen and people will cheat,
The peoples’ spirit will never be beat,
Faith is important, never forget,
But people will die as always.
People have worked and people were freed,
Unfortunately people are easy to mislead,
Stuck until death in a miserable place,
But life is a journey,
not a race.
