I have moments when I see a world 
of broken hearts and broken dreams
Where reality means 
Settling, compromising, sacrificing
Wishing for more, and expecting less
I see a world of heartache and distress
Fear and worry, lack and debt.
A life filled with sorrow and regret
Struggling to survive and making ends meat
Afraid to walk down a street
Killers and rapers and thieves
In a world run rampant with deceit and disease

And sometimes I see a world 
of forgiveness and love
Filled with grace and guidance from above
I see a world with compassion and peace
Where life, love, and freedom come with ease
A world of understanding and truth 
Where dreams are fulfilled for both elders and youth
Where all are equal regardless of sex and race 
Honoring each and every faith
A life of love, living from our hearts
Protecting, sharing and caring for all that we are.

Now you tell me, 
Which one sounds crazy? 
Which one is an illusion and a dream? 
Which one does your heart tell you is right, 
Which world would you rather sleep in at night? 

I’ve already chosen.
