Home for Lost Souls

(Verse 1)
Look around you, what do you see?
mothers crying for their sons and daughters
so that the rich can fill their greed with more currency
destroying our bodies with poison in our food and waters
and we just sit back and relax with no complacency
judging others just to heighten our pride and fame
creating a world full of pain and shameful legacies
always pointing fingers, and never taking the blame
how can we be so content with how we became to be?

(Chorus)
This place has turned into a home for lost souls
always searching for the answers outside to fill our holes
why cant we see? are we too afraid?
too look within and confront our demons that took hold
seeing how we let ourselves become so cold
why cant we see?, are we too afraid?
to apologize for the wrongs we inflicted on others
cause deep down we know they’re our sisters and brothers

(Verse 2)
Look around you, what do you hear?
people of nations fighting for wealth and control
not realizing we are one nation no matter how different we appear
one nation of a beautiful earth, one human race as a whole
we have music that teaches us the royalties of the career
but most of this doesn’t come from the heart and soul
this music, only showing us to hate and fear
to disregard morals and destroy the true human role
can’t you see for us to change is so severe?

(Chorus)
This place has turned into a home for lost souls
always searching for the answers outside to fill our holes
why cant we see? are we too afraid?
too look within and confront our demons that took hold
seeing how we let ourselves become so cold
why cant we see?, are we too afraid?
to apologize for the wrongs we inflicted on others
cause deep down we know they’re our sisters and brothers
