Kaleidoscope

Hey
Hey
Hey
Chill

A little wonder, I turn on the news
The whole world's on fire
Yeah, it's been this way since the beginning of time
Hate, violence, greed, lies
Race wars and genocide
Same species but borderlines
Left vs right
Men and women's rights
What will heaven and hell decide
But I know it takes time
To figure out life
I'm doin my best and I'm trying
Try as hard as I might
I won't always be right
How did I get so cold
Rage burns deep down to my chromosomes
Hope for my home
Everyone I know
Are we far too young?
And have we grown too old?
The world's swirling around me
Is it better than it seems?
Solace comes to me
When I shut up

There's benevolence
I found peace
Then I learned the world is full of so many wonderful things
A little patience
But then it's all ok
And then empathy reigns
Eternally

So take a little time
And analyze before you decide
Your selfish pride in that selfish mind
Only bubbles up hate from inside
One point of view in a wrinkle of time
And never mind the billions and billions of lives
All that you judged, all criticized
Through that one set of eyes
And yet I know it takes time
To figure out life
You're doing your best and your trying
Try as hard as you might
You won't always be right
So what, it's all for-told
The odyssey that lived before we ever known
The ignorance that trickles up and down your throat
Ey lil pessimist
Just shut up

There's benevolence
Go find peace
Then you'll learn the world is full of so many wonderful things
A little patience
But then it's all ok
And then empathy reigns and it reigns
And it reigns down on every child
You got your hands in your pockets
Cuz you don't care why
You got that love in your heart and the greatest smile
Yeah that's a heavy shield you wield
But you wield it right
So hey young fighter
Don't be so cold
The hate that you preach only tainted your soul
So hey
Hey
Hey
Chill
