Michael Ruff - Wishing Well lyrics

What kind of world is this

I'm afraid to walk these streets alone

What kind of world is this

Where the commonplace is a broken home

What kind of world

What kind of world is this

Where the law determines life or death

for your unborn child

What kind is world is this

We follow the images

that mark these times

And in this world

Chorus: I don't want to be

Solitary, solitary, no

What kind of world is this

Do we so believe in

every story that we've sold

What kind of world is this

Where we welcome children

but we shun the old

And in this world

Chorus

What kind of world is this

There's someone with your name

sleeping on the street tonight

What kind of world

We turn our eyes away from lovers

but we gather for a fight

And in this world

I don't want to be solitary

(One of my many prayers for more

Compassion and forgiveness in our lives.)
