Fragile World - Aaron Neville

Fragile world

Everyone’s in the path

So no one’s safe from its mighty wrath

Tornadoes, earthquakes, and hurricanes

Forest fires, mudslides, torrential rain

Heatwaves, floods and blizzards

Melting the polar ice

And if all that’s not bad enough

Humans just won’t play nice

There’s so much beyond our control

With the things we do

We surely take toll

Like people committing suicide

Just to take unsuspecting innocent lives

Likes meteors falling from the skies

Politicians telling lies

Like Marvin said, ‘Oil spilled all over our oceans and our seas'

I agree with him by saying ‘Mercy, Mercy Me'

And wanting to know ‘What's Going On?'

I’d like to know where the love has gone

All over these United divided States

There’s still so much fear and so much hate

Will we ever get it together, on this Earth?

We’re all sisters and brothers

Like Marvin said, ‘We better live together as brothers and sisters or die

together as fools'

Stop filling our hearts with hatred and breaking all the rules

Since we’re the higher-ups on the animal chain

But sometimes we just don’t use our brains

At least animals kill for food, man kills in his neighborhood

Nuclear threats all over the land

Man wants to annihilate other man

Tears for Fears said, ‘Everybody wants to rule the world'

But it belongs to every woman, man, boy and girl

See, we all have our right to share this land

Don’t just belong to one man

I don’t have all the answers;

I don’t think anybody does

If there was a cure for cancer and a whole lot more love

I’ll say a prayer before I go to sleep

And ask God for all our souls to keep

A fragile, fragile world, is all we got, y’all

I just wanna say peace on Earth and goodwill to everything and everybody from

this one and only planet

Make it right
