"Checking the World"

And I found out the hardest way
It's a pain that will be difficult to be taken away
I'm going through the hardest stage, trying to avoid disdain
Trying not to show my hate, leave it all on lay away.

I look at my friends
I notice the trouble they are in
Their lives also aren't perfect, and it's hard to live it
For all of us it is, hard to realize it

I check the world and see I'm not the only one
I wish everyone could take their arms
Raise up all of them high above
Then I'd see the pain we've all caused
To each other because with more hate the pain is never gone
It slowly eats apart the rest of us
Inside we feel like change the past we must
But if everyone hold their arms
Wave them around the whole universe
We'd be showing some sort of hope
For all of those whose melancholy is shown
For all of those whose happiness had to fold
In the end all we have is us
Why don't we just all live with peace and trust?

And I search the inner me
Dig up garbage, and it leaves umbrage
Of what my life used to be
Of what my eyes could one time see

The visions that were so clear
But with losses more I fear
Of losing more of those pieces
The ones representing me

I check the world and see I'm not the only one
Understanding each other is what we all want
And I wish everyone could take their arms
Raise them up all high above
To see the pain we all have caused
Upon each other and the pain is never gone
With more hate it eats the rest of us

Have we seen the pain we've inflicted?
So many diseases make our bodies sicken
Of so many drugs put into it
In the end it can no longer take it

And then we try to find the cure
But it's hard to regulate the body pure
Once again, it almost never happens
Because nothings perfect, everything has an end

Once again I notice I'm not the only one
Inside we feel like change the past we must
If everyone could hold one another's arms
And wave them around the universe
We'd be showing some sort of hope
For all of those whose melancholy is shown
For all of those whose happiness had to fold
Finally all we have is us
So why can't we live with just peace and trust?

I want to speak to you Lord
So much pain, I cannot take it anymore
It's driving me insane, and I'm nothing like I was before
If you're going to kill them do it with one blow

I understand all of the meanings of life
Some are hard to visualize with my very eyes
But they happen and I know that it's right
And we should be proud of living all the time

That's what our relatives would love for us
To live a life with happiness and trust
Create a world where only love penetrates
And breaks the barrier and all visible chains
Everything else remains outside locked away

I check the world and see I'm not the only one
I wish everyone could take their arms
Raise up all of them high above
Then I'd see the pain we've all caused
To each other because with more hate the pain is never gone
It slowly eats apart the rest of us
Inside we feel like change the past we must
But if everyone hold their arms
Wave them around the whole universe
We'd be showing some sort of hope
For all of those whose melancholy is shown
For all of those whose happiness had to fold
In the end all we have is us
Why don't we just all live with peace and trust?

People always try to find a cure
It's so hard to regulate the body back to pure
Once all over again, it almost never happens
Because nothings perfect, because everything ends
