I mourn for the world and I have little hope left for our country. Our planet is physically and morally ill and our once great United States is falling to it's knees.

SAVE US
(prayer)
Precious Jesus come to us
Make our planet whole again
Jesus, Mary, Joseph
a baby came to save us from ourselves
To save us,
To save us from destruction
To save us
To save us
To save us from ourselves

(end prayer)

verse

As I look out upon this world
As I look out upon this world
I see how we've destroyed the verdant forest
I see how we've destroyed the ocean blue
I see how we've destroyed the gift before us
As I look out upon this world (3x's)


I see how we've destroyed each other
I see how we've let hatred divide us
I see how we've taken away the hope of children
When will we ever learn

What we do to each other
What we do to the world
What we do to the gift of life
Why we think only of ourselves(3x's)

What we do to each other
What we do to the world
What we do to the gift of life
Why we think only of ourselves(3x's)


As I look out upon our world
I see Mother Mary weeping for the world
Is there hope for a world seeped in selfishness?
Why do we think only of ourselves?

And while these questions plague my mind
The whole world crumbles at my feet
I wonder how we can be so hateful
I wonder how we can be so lost
I wonder how we can be so careless
As I look out upon this world
