This World

George Balliet, San Mateo, CA

IN THIS WORLD OF TODAY
WITH ALL THE PEOPLE WE DO PLAY
IN THIS WORLD WHERE THERE IS “THE WAY”
I HOPE YOUR MINDS WILL NOT DECAY
IN THIS WORLD WHERE CRIME DOES PAY
I LOOK FOR HOPE IN MANY WAYS
IN THIS WORLD OF FEW WHO PRAY
I LOOK FOR SOMETHING THAT WILL STAY
IN THIS WORLD OF STRONG AND FRAY
I AM LUCKY I HAVE FOUND THE WAY
