The world comes with its own pain

Like sickness and grief

Why do people see the need to add to it

With hatred and greed

Would it feel better to bring us some relief

♧

But you rather make us sicker and profit to make us feel better

Even make money off our grief

Even death ain't free

That's some bad dealing

And very greedy

You a joy stealer

♧

Would it be better to choose joy over pain

But you rather watch our world go up in flames

You trade in joy for chaos

And peace for greed

Too much hate for people to just simply disagree

But I ain't losing my peace for people who wants to rule rather than lead

♧

The line between heaven and earth is looking even clearer

You can never steal joy given by The Joy Giver

The one who always delivers

Jesus my provider

He makes me a stronger fighter
