A World with No One to Blame

by Thomas K. Hunt

Let me play a little game with you
Maybe some of you will read this through
That will be strictly up to you
In the end, you'll do what you do

Breath in
Hold it for a while
Feel your face break into a smile
The kind of smile you haven't smiled in a while
I just made you do that

The world we live in is a struggle
It shouldn't have to be
We fear what's in the jungle
I'm pretty sure it's not just me

We're all shining lights that are shooting stars
leaving trails of who we are
Though we don't all see the same light
Still, we shine every night

We're all different, yet we're the same
Pointing fingers, naming names
This will be our claim to fame
Create a world with no one to blame

The road we're on had a one-way sign
It's up to us to spread out our time
Leave behind a trail that shines
Leave our love in other minds

Let's share this world under the sun
Share the laughter and have some fun
It will be our claim to fame
Creating a world with no one to blame

It's up to me, and it's up to you
It's what we all need to do
Yes, we're different but still the same
We're all players in the big game

There's no turning back
No, you can't do that
This will be our claim to fame
Create a world with no one to blame

Lay down the guns
Put an end to the fight
Watch the stars shoot in the night

They say wishes do come true
If you keep your wish a secret to you
May your wish be the same as mine
Mine's a secret for all time

We're not different, but we're not the same
We need to end all wars and just play games
This will be our claim to fame
Sharing our world with no one to blame

The world is full of color
with shades of black and white
We all have a purpose
We all have the same rights

Look into the eyes and see the heart
Reach out your hand; that's a great place to start
Just sit back, relax, enjoy the game
In a world with no one to blame

Sometimes I get lost in a dream
where I see things quite differently
Unlike a world full of pain
Someone always searching for someone to blame

Hope lies among the wishes and on the trails of shooting stars
When you see one, make a wish right there where you are
Take that wish and hide it away
Place it in your heart and wish it on another day

There's no turning back
No, you can't do that
This will be our claim to fame
Living in a world with no one to blame

Breath in
Hold it for a while
Feel your face break into a smile
The kind of smile you haven't smiled in a while
I hope I just made you do that

A worthy positive message for the new year. Great rhyme and flow...lyricism Thomas. Have you put it to music?
