Ascension

Compassion for the innocent, 

    the helpless and weak

For those who try but 

    just can't speak

Knowing that there's someone 

    hurting a child

Watching my kind 

    as they ruin the wild

My heart aches for the 

    hopelessly poor

And weeps for babies 

    that get hurt by war

The evil and selfish 

    greed that I see

Crushes my soul and 

    makes my heart bleed

Sometimes I wish I could 

    let it go by

Pain not my own wouldn't 

    make me cry

I can't watch the news, 

    it would ruin my day

Horror and cruelty there to 

    paint my way

Humanity can't evolve

    fast enough for me

I want us to ascend and 

    then we'd finally be free.
