The World's Lullaby

Here and There, Everywhere
The world is falling down.
Far away, Here to stay
Not a soothing sound.
Where's my lullaby?

Dad is mean, Words unclean
Saying without a care.
Sadness stays, Endless days
Life getting nowhere.
Still no lullaby.

Teachers talk, Students walk
I would sit alone.
Friends divide, Enemies collide
I don't deserve a throne.
I want a lullaby.

Guns are heard, A seldom word
Evil runs through their head.
People die, Children cry
Rebels leave them all for dead.
Will I get a lullaby?

Wars will rein, Nothing but pain
Sorrow isn't far.
Family and friends, Finding ends
Not a shining star.
Can I have a lullaby?

Heartless souls, Endless tolls
For husband, kid, or wife.
Dying land, Just so grand
Welcome, this is life.
I'll never get a lullaby.

So this is my goodbye.
