Tell me something
that will make me happy
I’m tired of hearing things
that make me sad.
Tell me a story that will turn me to loving
’cause I’m hating this world
and it’s getting bad.
I’m looking over
the edge of the world
And all that I see is sorrow.
I don’t know what the next day will bring
but I’m deathly afraid
of tomorrow.
