lyrics

I wanna know how it ends
tell me how, tell me when
How’s it all gonna end?
I wanna know how it ends
tell me now, tell me when
How’s this all gonna end?

kindness without orders, doctors without borders
earthquake victims healed by hands of philanthropy
blood and organ donors enormously important to new owners
after a calamity habitat for humanity
big brothers big sisters wishes granted amidst prolific damage
firemen rising through the ashes
policemen taking one for the team
what’s the old adage about the crop and the cream?
cool green waterfalls under a warm blue sky
sunshine after a thunderstorm
rainbows, angels in plain clothes
faith built to last long
the same goes for courageous youth still standing strong
animal shelters, stopping for strangers to help them
a mother’s welcome to a newborn the joy as she held him
felt his heartbeat, gonna help him start sweet
impart wisdom, this little infant part heaven, part me
helping hands, cancer re-search and rescue
prayers answered, many lives is blessed through
shows of sincerity, hope and charity in moments of clarity
graveyards of bravehearts, died protecting us
soldiers stepping up in the allegiance of freedom when we need ‘em
epidemics unexpectedly cheated, deadly infections treated
death defeated in emergency rooms
new energy blooms, conscious of the planet
the privilege of living is not taken for granted
red cross, united way, unity
cultivating community, every day an opportunity
donations to build schools, dedicated teachers
underappreciated victors, unsung victories
math science and history
social studies show that what our children know
is how far everybody goes
good reports, good sports
athletes volunteering at childrens hospitals
anything's possible after visits from heroes
citizens bureaus organizing for good
neighbors rising in the hood
doing everything they could going above and beyond
paying it forward nothing short of the importance we agree on
just one of those days when it all feels right
rest your head on the pillow and enjoy a peaceful night

face in her hands crying a grandmother stood mourning
anything but a good morning
global warming looms taste the rainforest fumes
typhoons and monsoons, lewd media consumed
selling sex explicitly, multibillion dollar porn industry
buildings fall, the concrete grieves for what is done
abandoned children call for anyone
corrupt governments ignoring immortal imprints
stooped in defiance nuclear giants, ethical infants
lost in holocaust men of pride and genocide
drug lords above laws let all the peasants die
dog fighting, smog stifling
fraudulent white collar stock titans all licensed for greed
seeds of ignorance grow into jungles of hatred
once glorious paintings now jumbled and faded
humble and sacred disgraced, believing is blasphemy
underhanded strategy, family dismantling conditions diminishing hippocritical politicians petitioning for positions of power
money the mission in the seedy coalition
every time I watch television I feel like I need a shower
economy bottoming, a lot of following and gossiping
wallowing in shame but we’re probably gonna claim
nonchalance - today’s common response to the crisis
too many invasive surgeries, now spineless
sober slightly, drunk driving
stuff that what was once thunk of highly now highly unlikely
oil spills, black beaches
the turmoil builds attacks frequent treaty and contract breaches
kids trained to kill in the middle east
kids trained to kill in the middle of our streets
on city blocks stray shots spray the playgrounds
little kids playing hopscotch drop and stay down
terrorists concoct plots of bombing nations
noxious thoughts and communication, secret combinations
innocence shaken by promiscuity
breaking the promise of beauty chastity hastily chastened
chasing illusions in the wake of confusion
profusion of lust rapists slither in seclusion
flesh peddlers sell girls, collusion unforgiven
slaves of prostitution, masters of perdition
aids, brain tumors, wars and rumors of wars
the whole earth in commotion, men’s hearts are failing them
the assailing of anything pure, virtuous and lovely
the free reign of the hurtful and ugly
something aint right it’s no secret what it is
we can all feel it, we can all see what it did
a timeless people but in this world we gotta live
in the fight of good and evil something’s gotta give

the earth burned, every corruptible thing consumed
the elements melted, the most virtuous exhumed
rise and shine as the brightness of the firmament
it’s finally time to take flight and they’re deserving it
out with the old all things shall become new
dreams comes true, freedom becomes you
lost notes back on the beat, rhythm restored
glory in four words - the kingdom is yours
after all the trials and tribulation in the last dispensation
the powers of heaven shall be shaken
the sun hides it’s face and the moon without light
stars hurled from their places, faces of amazement
tears of joy nothing to fear though
about to hear the real mccoy so lend me an ear yo
offended countrymen, romans and friends make amends
the suffering ends when the king descends
all come forth from the four quarters of the earth
to observe the birth, the millenial dawn
divine deliverance drawn, a portrait of transformation
upon the canvas of the emancipation undergone
no longer pawns in the great deception
we’re stronger now, we honor the great redemption
whatever a man shall ask, it shall be given to him
infinite knowledge and wisdom instantly given through him
no sorrow, no illness, no death
touch the stillness, take a breath
behold the brilliance with darkness destroyed
the ministering of angels, gravediggers unemployed
in the barren deserts pools of living water
brothers and sisters, sons and daughters
relying on trust, the lion lay with the lamb
harmony in Zion, none can stay his hand
swords to plowshares, no one about theirs
no war, no temptation, no enemy out there
the enmity of all flesh shall cease
he’s bound, it’s the world renowned thousand years of peace
then one final night
the dark armies gather for one final fight
and get jettisoned as outer darkness denizens
again heaven wins
the millennium ends and forever begins
