Troubled World – Annelyn Close

Performed by Annelyn Close as part of the 2014 MyMusic MasterPeace Competition.

CHORUS:
With all the cruel things going on
While we claim we know right from wrong
Don’t say, don’t say, don’t say you don’t give a damn
We all have our lives to carry on
But it doesn’t mean we get absolved
We all take, we all take, we all take part in this troubled world

VERSE:
We bear signs of wisdom
In our eyes
Turned away so easily
When troubles arise

PRECHORUS:
Mindless we go on
When Misfortune spares our own
Others get forsaken
We leave them to their fate

CHORUS

VERSE:
It’s not even the words we say
It’s those we do not and our apathetic ways
That make us questionably social
Beyond our gates

PRECHORUS:
With our hearts we feel pain
With our minds we do abstain
From trying to make a difference
When we see nothing’s changed

CHORUS

BRIDGE:

In this world we live in
There’s problems unresolved
If we know how to call them
Why do we then hold off

CHORUS
