So Goes the World
The flowers bloom in forest hills
The mountains pierce the opal sky
As broken people seek their thrills
A sorrowed, somber angel flies
Underneath the countless stars
Upon the roads and in the streams
The world can barely hide it's scars
Or shattered lives and broken dreams
The sicknesses and sadnesses
Of worldly people with worldly things
Expose hopelessness and madnesses
As this angel slowly bats his wings
He's leaving now. He's had enough
We scared the poor thing away
It must be said, he had it rough
All he wanted was a role to play.
They shredded him, they treaded him
He wanted so much to belong
He gave his all, even with his fall
He didn't mean to go so wrong
Though love prevails, sometimes it fails
To grant a peace so safe and free
War gasps a breath of hate and death
spills crimson blood on fertile trees
"So goes the world" this angel cried
As he lifted higher in the sky
To heaven's freedom and endless stars
He left a fallen world to die
