Nothing is ok
Kelley Davies 1983 (Dallas)
Them tides, they've turned
The world is at war
I try and keep it peaceful
But my spirit is torn
The same who've hurt me
Are calling for allegiance
To their deathly strategy
To destroy with obedience
Their plan is heinous
It's not my way
I don't see an end
And still they slay
Each other
It's real, the violence
It causes consequences
The spiritual realm
Is pleading for our defense
Against this offense
The situation is dire
But I refuse to fall prey
To a world on fire
This antihuman fight
To destroy each other
Over a simple belief
"I'm right and you're wrong!"
It's all a lie
We're all the same
In the end
The war is inside of each one of us
Time to mend
