A World Gone Mad

As I walk with thee,
hide these things I see.

Corrupt and polluted streets in the night.
Men, women, even children want to fight.
We send them off to war,
most of them we won't see anymore.
Children left without a mom or dad.
Lord this world has gone mad.

Bill collectors and money have people stressed.
They kill themselves, they're so depressed.
Maybe turn to the corner to buy drugs,
offered by your local street thugs.
Even our ministers have gone bad.
Lord this world has gone mad.

We tell ourselves it will be okay.
Close our eyes in hope that it will go away.
Praying to the Lord above,
He'll show us peace and love.
I have Him and I'm glad, because
Lord this world has gone mad.

As I walk with thee,
hide these things I see.
