[hometext] => a world of porcelain and glass
[bodytext] => Can’t we have a world of porcelain and glass Of tea parties and china sets and children’s innocence Where grown ups can play and politics are useless And ‘colored’ just describes the sky at its best. Can’t we find a place that has a blue moon each week Where you get answers to questions you’ve wanted to seek A place where you find that heaven and earth coexist And your thoughts aren’t like rolling valleys of mist. Can’t we find a time where language is one Where we’re not scattered and lost like false syllables Kindness is free, and judgment can wait And murders don’t climb at a staggering rate. Because where will we be If we don’t even see That the world needs changing Like an art that’s not raging And how will we live If feelings leak like a sieve We’re a nation of violence That needs to be silenced.
