Sometimes I Wish

I know that this question raises all kinds of issuesin my mind, and this question is do you believein Christ? Because i believe that what we expierenceand ah and its not being talked about openly enoughwas pure evil.Sometimes i wish this world was just a crazydream, sometimes things arent what they are meantto be, or what they seem.Sometimes i wish this world was one big dreamso many tragedies, life threatning disease inreality who can we blame for these things? Sowe pray for the families and the souls of thepeople shot dead they cry, roaming through thehalls of the schools at night. My homieJoseph in Texas, 14 years old police took hislife at his front door. Maybe humans haveconverted into a beast. Can we really pointthe finger at just one thing? Is it a signof the time or just the beginning i prayto God to help me keep living. Jealousyand envy and so much hate, newborn babiesthrown in garbage cans every day.In the lobby of a hospital a young girl dies, nomoney to pay so she pays with her life.ChorusHow many times must we ask ourselves why,and how many times must we watch our children die?Remember the times we were united as one growingup as a child life was always fun. Time havechanged and its been for the worst. Trials andtribulations that we face of course, time to putour foot down lets get to know our young onesbefore the next tragedy becomes the realest one.1999 this year is half was over. Lessons not learned,how your learning i couldve told ya. Maybe thishappened for a reason only the Lord knows why. Andthis is for us to open up our eyes cause death awaitsus at any given time. My love goes out to thosewhos souls rest tonight, and all we can do is justask ourselves why? Wish this wouldnt be all we cando is pray and cry.ChorusThings change for the wrong we cant go on this long.Hand in hand right by your side, i love it thenand no more cry so if i was to go to tonight, illpray that youll be alright. One Lord one might rejoice,one soul unite one voice.Pray for all of us, Father let us not takethings for granted, and please let us counteach and every one of our blessings Father.Now generation X is what they call it whys that?Is it because this is where it all ends at, togo to war we dont need to be over seas. Its beendeclared out in the streets, gangs, thugs,moving drugs, government officials, blackmarket,military guns.Is this why you gave us the right to bare arms? Tohit armagedon head on? Read between the lines itsGenesise, and now the youth just dont smoke weed,they got things like man made methaphetaminesnever letting the young souls dream. And whatsto do? When our youth is being mentally,physically, sexually abused. How do we changewhen its all put in our brains, money, sex,power, the year 2K. And everyday i watchthe news it shows me howclose we are to Judgement day, andso for its all worth i Pray.Chorus
