Sometimes you just want to shut out the world
The hate and the violence, the masks people wear
and the money-grubbing
Who is there around willing
to tell you all there secrets?
Even I hesitate
Who is there willing to take all the time it takes
to share the spirit the a stranger, or even a friend
We’re all so busy trying to keep up the front
because in the back of our minds
we know it’s a scary world out there
and above all, we find a way
to self-protect
or at least that’s what we think
but it’s a futile tasks
It’s a futile task, my friends
We can’r straighten out the chaos
we see exploding
the chaos exploding around the world
So what are we left with
Well, we are left with one another
the people we know
the ones we want to get close to
the ones with whom we are willing
to discard the masks
and bare our souls
and share laughter
and shed tears
the ones we have truly come to know
because they are the ones we will turn to
when this crazy world explodes
