Madness

Do you remember yesterday,… when we all could say,…
“Life is just a dream”,… and our streets were safe for kids to play?
Ain’t it funny how times change?
Dreams that we once shared,… are now hidden off and locked away

And is it safe to say,… that we’ve lost our way,…
And need to recognize the way we’ve grown apart?
And don’t you see the shame,… in how we pass the blame
But never take the time to heal our empty hearts?

When’s the madness gonna end? 
(Will we ever try to comprehend?)
It’s time to reach on out and lend a helping hand
When’s the madness gonna end?
(We should strive to be the best of friends)
We need to show some love and help our fellow man

It’s time to stand and fight,… for what’s wrong or right
And reach out for the love in which we once believed
It’s time to take control,… of our heart and souls
Less we lose our children to the hands of those who would deceive

And don’t you see the shame,… in how we pass the blame
But never take the time to heal our empty hearts? 
And is it safe to say,… that we’ve lost our way,…
And need to recognize the way we’ve grown apart?

When’s the madness gonna end? 
(Will we ever try to comprehend?)
It’s time to reach on out and lend a helping hand
When’s the madness gonna end?
(We should strive to be the best of friends)
We need to show some love and help our fellow man
