lyrics

Look at the world today
Sometimes I sit and wonder
What my grandfather's daddy would say
If he was here today

Look at the world today
There's violence and crime
out in the same streets
That our Children play
When did we go astray?

-Chorus
Sometimes I just wanna cry
Cause all we do is sit and wonder why
We’re giving up our space
In the world today

Look at the world today
Politicians running away
With everything we made
Like it was judgement day

Look at the world today
Sometimes I sit and wonder
What my grandchildren will have to face
Are they gonna be ok?

-Chorus
But then I just shake my head
And remember what Grampa Said
Don’t forget your place
In the world today

-Bridge
Sometimes I think we’ve all gone mad
Can't see the good for all the bad
It's best to just clear my head
And remember what grandpa said

Look at the world today
It’s time to stop hiding and compromising
Our childrens fate
Before it is too late

Look at the world today
It’s time to stop hiding and compromising
Our childrens fate
