about

Why do so many of us lack this quality in this challenging time?

lyrics

You’re afraid, I see that clearly
And I know where that comes from
Things are changing so severely
We’re living under a monster’s thumb

Where once our future looked so green
Now the landscape’s dark and barren
We’re in the age of selfishness and greed
Overwhelmed by Kyle’s and Karens

What happened to the love we shared
Where is the human decency?
Remember when we seemed to care
What happened to you, what happened to me
What happened to empathy?

Truth has taken a vacation
And kindness went along for the ride and
It’s left a bitter broken nation
Beaten and divided

Remember ‘love thy neighbour’
And ‘living in harmony’?
Now we rattle our sabres
And descend into tyranny

We cry and we grieve
We’re in mourning for this land
A parcel of rogues and thieves
Have blood on their hands
