A Better Place

by slm - Libra

This world is so lost and fallen, so far from the Master's face
This life is so full of sorrow as we drown while running in place
Some days this life seems hopeless as we just sit and shake our head
And watch the evening news and learn, some more of our teens are dead

What will it take to change this world and make it a better place
To change this life of sorrow and remove life's bitter taste
We've forgotten all our history and the meaning of Independence Day
The hidden closets have all been cleaned, and everyone has something to say

They all think they're important and all their thoughts are true
It's sad to see the shape of life, so many lost and without a clue
But listen to these words my friend, there is hope if you are lost
The answer to this life's problems, was nailed upon a cross

We all are lost and fallen, so far from the Master's face
Until the day we humble ourselves, upon His throne of grace
There is hope if you are weary, there is such sweet release
Just open up your heart my friend and He will give you peace
