Hands Held High....

In my living room watching but I am not laughing

Cause when it gets tense I know what might happen

World is cold the bold men take action

Have to react or get blown into fractions

Ten years old it's something to see

Another kid my age drugged under a jeep

Taken and bound and found later under a tree

I wonder if he had thought the next one could be me

Do you see the soldiers they're out today

They brush the dust from bullet proof vests away

It's ironic at times like this you pray

But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday

There's bombs in the buses, bikes, roads

Inside your market, your shops, your clothes

My dad he's got a lot of fear I know

But enough pride inside not to let that show

My brother had a book he would hold with pride

A little red cover with a broken spine

On the back, he hand-wrote a quote inside

When the rich wage war it's the poor who die

Meanwhile, the leader just talks away

Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay

And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day

both scared and angry like "what did he say?"

With hands held high into the sky so blue,

As the ocean opens up to swallow you.

These are the words from one of the best known rock bands of this generation- 'Linkin Park'. If you still think about why I have put up this song lyrics as an entry, then I suggest that you read the lines closer, once.....twice...thrice.......till it gets clear why its put here. Too much hatred in the world around, too much sadness..This Song goes out for all those who are sick of it ravaging the world
