The battle within

There's a battle going on within
My thoughts are in turmoil...
Jumbled feelings and worries
Each vying to win...
I worry for my family...
I worry for this world...
So many things are going on
So many things are happening
Wars and rumours of wars
People: lost and dying every day
Ah dear Lord...
Is there no other way?
Why can we not love each other?
Why can we not forgive?
Can we not feel each other's pain?
Can we not understand another's sin?
We are each upon our own journey
We are each struggling to find a way
Ah dear Lord I feel your sadness
As you look down upon us all
Your dear children: lost along their way
