Song Lyrics

---

1st Verse:

Sometimes I lie awake at night
Contemplating the events of the past day
Not even realizing anyone else’s pain
So many lives, so many pathways
Each their own journey

A Mother loses a child
A Father runs away
Big brother accidentally kills his sister
Yet, another gang member falls to something sinister

Domestic violence still on the climb
More disputes are always on the rise
People simply choosin to despise
Instead of cooperatin over time

No segregation, no discrimination
Unpleasantness is reachin all kinds of ages
With neglect creatin many forms of hatred
It is leadin to the downfall of almost every nation

We all seek happiness, love, and acceptance
But many seem to steal it away
Creatin forms of hurt and pain

Chorus:

Why oh why must it be this way
(I no longer want heartache)
So many lives are stolen today
(I don’t like all these mistakes)
Too much happiness has gone away
(I want back what it is I miss)
We need to rid these shades of grey
(I can now only recover and reminisce)

2nd Verse:

No news seems to be good news
Prime time illusions to the unclean

Many kids not havin any guidance
Because adults are too obsessed with their own images

Which other forms of occurrence
Will now become mainstream
Boostin ratings with these constant negativities

All these people seekin attention
Have a set of things in relation
Obtainin power, control, and a form of fame
No matter the disgrace it brings someone else’s name

To them it’s just a game
They have no feelin of shame
As long as they can come across a TV screen

The consequence is almost relished
Just to get a little bit of media coverage
It completely blows my mind time after time
The reason someone steals away another’s shine

Chorus:

Why oh why must it be this way
(I no longer want heartache)
So many lives are stolen today
(I don’t like all these mistakes)
Too much happiness has gone away
(I want back what it is I miss)
We need to rid these shades of grey
(I can now only recover and reminisce)

Interlude:

Is this all ok in your sight
Do you think that it is right
Do you enjoy seein these treacherous things
Or will you help prevent them from happening

3rd Verse:

It Breaks my heart
Seeing the world fall apart
Random acts of violence
Causing many to be silenced

What I wouldn’t give
To see more truly live
To have it all get turned around

No more failed sense
No more crude idealists
Just a movement towards healin

Can we make a change
Put morals back into the fray
Not allowing the lives lost to be in vain
