What Kind Of World
(Jim Russ)

What kind of world have I brought my children into?
A father should never have to explain
A tragedy such as this
What kind of world have I brought my children into?
My heart goes out to all those families
And their loved ones theya019ll forever miss

What kind of world will we wake up in the morning to?
Things can happen so fast
They can take you by surprise
What kind of world will we wake up in the morning to?
Will we laugh, will we cry?
Should I shield my childrena019s eyes?

(Chorus)
Therea019s gotta be a change for the better coming soon
Lord knows we need it now, right now
Therea019s an awful lot of praying going on around here
There and everywhere
And if we stop and look around
I think wea019ll see more people starting to care

Shake a hand, give a smile
Odds are youa019re gonna feel a whole lot better
Dona019t close your eyes, dona019t look away
Ita019s time to see we all are in this together, together, leta019s get it together

What kind of world have I brought my children into?
Good versus evil everyday
While theya019re in school and as they play
What kind of world have I brought my children into?
So much violence and pain
Wea019re getting used to it everyday

What kind of world will we wake up in the morning to?
I wanna believe in a better tomorrow
It just might take a little time
What kind of world will we wake up in the morning to?
What ever it brings Ia019m gonna hug and hold this family of mine
(Repeat Chorus)
