Especie En Peligro

Today I woke up looking at the television
And I couldn't believe what I have before my eyes
There's talk of war with much concern
They say it's something against the terrorists
And on one side there are many who favor it
But on the other side there are many who also oppose it
Some say that's what they deserve
And others pray for a reaction at last

(CHORUS)
And we see the front page of the newspaper
at every magazine stand
There's a divided world and each one
has their point of view
we see different opinions
all over the earth
some who want peace
and others who prefer to go to war
And in the midst of all this it surprises me
How much we have changed
Because we no longer see the strength of that unity
That we saw in the past
Where are those who came together that day
When we were bombed
Yesterday they were united but
today they have all separated
Because with the passing of time
It seems we have forgotten

As I continue watching the television
I see that everyone continues with the same story
They keep saying it's a mistake
While others fight for victory
On the other hand, tension keeps rising
many condemn everything that is happening
the frustration of the whole world is growing
as the list of fallen increases

(CHORUS)

We criticize war and all violence
But discord reigns among us
Many who resist with protest
Today continue pointing without mercy
They say it's an abuse against many people
That thousands of children are dying
But we have forgotten the innocent
Who are still dying because of abortion

And while on the front page what I keep seeing
Is the same news
there's a divided world and each one
has their point of view
there's a world that is lost in
sin because of greed
the family is an endangered species
but we don't want to see it
divorce is on the rise
but no one wants to resolve it
and in the midst of all this I realize
why everything has changed
and it's because all the values we
had we have frozen
there's a need for us to look back
remember the pain
of Jesus when he was crucified
because with the passing of time it
seems we have forgotten

we worry about terrorism
in Afghanistan and Iraq but we don't
worry about terrorism
in homes children rise up
against parents, parents against children
domestic violence child abuse
the towers didn't fall on 9/11
the first one fell in 1962 when
they took prayer out of schools
and the second in 1973 when
abortion was legalized
friend the family is a species
that is endangered
