Is This The Real World ?
Come into the real world
that`s what people say
but I don`t like the real world
the way it is today.
I want to go to town
and know my home is safe,
not have to lock the doors
when I go any place.
Gone are the times
when we felt safe at home
many live in deepest fear
if they are left alone.
We barricade our windows
put bars across the doors
trying to keep the burglars out
and protect all that is ours.
Criminals roaming in the streets
commiting all types of crimes
and when they are sent to prison
they don`t serve any time.
I want the children to feel secure
as they attend their schools
listen to what the teacher`s say
and obey the golden rules.
Some parents have lost control
of what`s best for their child
because unfortunately it seems
there are many running wild.
I want all the children
to be safe as they play outside
and not to worry that some pervert
will take them for a ride.
I would like the world to be
a happier place once more
people trusting others
the rich helping the poor.
Children should be children
and not grow up to fast
keeping more of innocence
as they did in years past.
I want to go for long walks
when the day is through
and not to feel afraid
of what someone might do.
Come into the real world
NO! I want to say
for this is not the real world
We`ve just let it get this way.
