Looking to the future, looking to the past
Putting out the flames of ignorance
Is the tragedy that we have
The carnage of time
The loss of over four-hundred thousand lives
A community disenfranchised
Now the uneducated run and hide.
Looking to our neighbors, looking to our communities
Moving towards unity, are we truly free
With hope, we live with integrity.
The carnage of time
Walking through a field of destruction
Littered with rubble left behind
As the uneducated look on with pride
Looking to our mentors, looking to our leaders
A future with positive change is nowhere.
Words spoken with strength dismissing all the fear

Quite the optimist there Tommy! I'm doing my part to stamp out the flames of which you sing. My feet are getting hot though.
