A world on fire

The worlds on fire but
I’m still in line
Waiting for the traffic light
For the freedom to move

Children die everyday
Ripped from their mothers or
Hungry and naked
Sometimes even just because

I’m still waiting 
On that traffic light

The clock ticks slowly
But a decade flew by
There’s already a new war 
On the horizon
Old graves forgotten

But hey I’m still waiting
For the sign to turn

There’s only money to this madness
Method be damned
No nation can be Great
Without sacrificing a few pawns

The light’s amber now
Blinking in my eyes
I’m still waiting 
For the green in my life

What price freedom
And is freedom really free
Or just another slogan
To keep me focused on green

Lights change and we move forward
Lights change and we move backward
Never knowing whether a decision
Is truly ours, or what we’re told

The world’s on fire but
Hey, the lights green now
Time to get my coffee
Be a good cog in the machine now
