Save the world

i wrote this in year 8 with a friend for music, we were doing protest songs. if you sing this with the instrumental version of "hot and cold" by Katy Perry, it should make sense :)

If you could see

The world I wanna be

There’s so much wrong so much hurt

But I don’t know

Why is there so much war? Why is there poverty?

 

Chorus

Please tell me

Cos I don’t understand

Everywhere I see people crying on the streets

Missing family, loosing homes

Someone needs to…

Save the world

Save the world

Before our children cry

All we need is just one person

To save the world

This one world

Save the world

Save the world

Save the world

This one world

 

What happened to society?

What happened to those things called human rights?

Everyone running round not caring about each other

If you could look at the world today

Would you be proud of what you see?

 

Chorus

Please tell me

Cos I don’t understand

Everywhere I see people crying on the streets

Missing family, loosing homes

Some one needs to…

Save the world

Save the world

Before our children cry

All we need is just one person

To save the world

This one world

Save the world

Save the world

Save the world

This one world

 

The world is dyin, ozone layer shrinking

What are we doing to this world?

Ice melting, land sinking

What’s wrong with our thinking?

 

Please tell me

Cos I don’t understand

Everywhere I see people crying

Missing family, loosing homes

Some one needs to…

Save the world (save the world)

 

If you could see

The world I wanna be…

 

Please tell me

Cos I don’t understand

Everywhere I see people crying on the streets

Missing family, losing homes

Someone needs to…

Save the world

Save the world

Before our children cry

All we need is just one person

To save the world

This one world

Save the world

 

Why do we judge others?

Why do we ignore others?

We are all the same

So stop playing this game

 

All we need is just one person

To save the world

This one world

Save the world

This one world

Save the world

Save the world

That's actually pretty good! I don't listen to Katy Perry, so I don't know the music, but like I said earlier, it's really good!

[jhed]

wow.. talk about saving the earth.. this is sooo much a better one than I had written :))

[CalebSchadeck]

i think it owuld do better as a poem, but if you wnated u or some one else could write music to the song tht would be sweet but great message sent to the reader/listener

[Denise]

Love it!!! now if I were more musically inclined I could probably imagine this much better as a song in my head as I read it, sadly I'm not...but it is beautiful words and thoughts none the less
