Refuge

Refuge

I crawled into this refuge
To shelter from the rage
The violence of society
See reports on every page
Peace takes but a willing heart
To still the anger thats within
So easy to draw swords and guns
Oh when will true peace begin
Many years of anguish
As I toiled away all day
Followed by some respite
That later went astray
Now as new love arises
I want to turn and flee
Away from all the turmoil
That haunts this land of free
Havent we the right to take
A quieter path through life
One where every day is not
Spoiled by undue strife
Where economic blunders
Do not rob us till we're blind
And all because the devils greed
Pervades throughout mankind
The trappings of the super rich
Obscene in many eyes
Can never help alleviate
The troubles and the cries
That ring around the third world
And must deafen many ears
For thats what they do fall on
Nor do we see their tears
Passions that arise in me
Are many fold and strong
But the only strength that I wield
Is through my words and song
So let me take your hand dear
And lead you to my cave
where we can hide away from
All that anger and that rage
