Can’t look away
Overtaken by fear and amazement
Seeing parts of the world that haven’t even changed yet
Death and destruction reported daily on the global net
Diseases running wild
Now I’m fretting what’ll happen next

Religious fundamentalism
Only aims to disrupt the wisdom
That we are one Human race
On a rock out in space
Given time and a place
To lock arms and embrace
Instead we only can deface
Spilling blood in vicious haste

Not seeing religion as an attempt to make sense
Of the unanswered questions
That science still has left
Taking people in on the promise of deliverance
Turn them into pawns in a battle of dominions
Quick to stir bloodshed on the basis of opinions

Using people’s dreams as a means to an end
Separating unity by making foe out of friend
