Can it be I hear an alarm
The world we knew has lost its charm
It’s upside down and turned around
Looks like we all are losing ground
While terra firma seems so grand
Society destroys the land
We need take care before we’re lost
Our carelessness too great a cost !
There are so many dreams I’ve had
Some old, some borrowed, some brand new
A few turned out to be quite sad
But there were winners, one or two.
I thank You Lord, for all the luck
And wish my friends much of the same
This effort took most of the pluck
To help save each one in the game.
I know that dreams will never end
Fact is they only fade away
In time, conditions all must blend
While dreams keep changing every day !
All our dreams are battered and worn
The flag we love, tattered and torn
Our values distorted and bent
Who knows where our future went ?
Perhaps we dreamt a bit too much
Or trusted those of questioned touch
We followed paths that were unknown
Where seeds of doubt had long been sown
And so it seems we’ve run offtrack
We’d like to take our power back !
How sad it is for us to be
Hiding from life’s inequity
The question that’s been asked of me
Shall we survive the enemy ?
We surely know there will be cost
Our wisdom gone our valour lost
This tragedy which we maintain
Doth drown us all in grave disdain !
Evoking words we’ve heard before
Our future’s knocking on the door
Truth don’t you think that it’s too late
Barbarians are at the gate ?
My mind becomes a time machine
Like Jack, I have this magic bean
It grows and keeps reminding me
Of memories that used to be !
The clarity of where I’ve been
Is clear as I remember when
I wished that I could share this gift
With those who need a mighty lift.
It’s not that truth falls in-between
These cracks that pop-up on the scene
It’s simply that one waits too long
To ponder why good things go wrong !
Perhaps we could retrace our ways
Recalling all those yesterdays
When each of us would stand up tall
Admitting errors great and small !
