Walk this world alone, try to stay on my feet.

Sometimes crawl, fall, but I stand up cause I'm afraid to sleep.
And open my eyes to a new day, with all new problems and all new pain.
All the faces are filled with so much anger.
Losing our dignity and hope from fear of danger.
After all the wars, after settling the scores, at the break of dawn we will be deaf to the answers.

There's so much bigotry, misunderstanding and fear.
With eyes squinted and fists clinched we reach out for what is dear.
We want it. We want.
We want a reason to live.

We're on a pilgrimage.
A crusade for hope.
'Cause in our hearts and minds and souls, we know.
We need it. We need.
We need more than this.

Going through this life, looking for angels.
People passing by, looking for angels.

Walking down the streets, looking for angels.
Everyone I meet, looking for angels.

So many nations with so many hungry people.
So many homeless scrounging around for dirty needles.
On the rise, teen suicide, when we will realize,
we've been desensitized by the lies of the world.

We're oppressed and impressed by the greedy,
whose hands squeeze the life out of the needy.
When will we learn that wars, threats,
and regrets are the cause and effect of living in fear?

Who can help protect the innocence of our children,
stolen on the internet with images they can't forget?
We want it. We want.
We want a reason to live.

We represent a generation that wants to turn back a nation.
To let love be our light and salvation.
We need it. We need,

We need more than this.
I became a savior to some kids I'll never meet.
Sent a check in the mail to buy them something to eat.
What will you do to make a difference, to make a change?

What will you do to help someone along the way?
Just a touch, a smile as you turn the other cheek?
Pray for your enemies, humble yourself, love's staring back at me.
In the midst of the most painful faces
Angels show up in the strangest of places.

This is "Looking For Angels" by Skillet. I just made a few changes in the grammar. I put this in here cause some people (like my mother) need to realize that there is some serious stuff going on in the world and that it's still important to take care of. It's all the little things. Most people don't realize that suicide happens almost everyday and that there are people dying everyday because of greedy people and hunger. They just turn the other cheek. This world needs to wake up and there are so many people who are trying to help create awareness, but no one listens to them. It's the reason why I like bands and singers like Avril Lavigne and Skillet. And why I like alternative music. They speak about the world and if you just listen to their words, you can hear that they are breaking because of all these things. But so many people are just focused on a good beat that they don't notice the words and the message. That's how they end up shrugging everything off and squeeze the life out of the needy. We need to be aware about this and help to change the world for the better. What will you do to change the world?

And not exactly relevant much but you know how if you don't finish your food, your parents say that there are children/people who have no food? I wonder how that's supposed to make le children feel grateful and actually finish their food. If you can't eat it, give it to a poor person. Help someone instead of yourself. I wonder how no one can understand that😑
