They send me out

They send me out to the world today, this backward upside down world, where right is wrong and wrong is right, where men are women and women are men, where evil is good and good is evil, where hatred is the norm and rich is best, where money talks and a kind heart is nothing, but I say I am as I was born and I have the courage and strength to remain the same, I listen and remember only words of encouragement, only words of truth, I listen only to what is truly right, and I will not be told what to think, some things must remain as they ought to be, and a kind heart must be elevated, inner strength must be seen as higher than any other and the spirit inside unchanging and everlasting must be respected, bring back this respect and understanding and I will show you a new world, not an new world order but a peaceful world, as it was in the beginning. 

They send me out to the streets,

I choose not to take a gun or a knife, 

I choose not to join a gang or follow the crowd, 

I choose not to be easily influenced, 

I choose to have my own mind and my own will power, 

I choose not to take drugs and get off my face and out of my head, 

I choose not live there, but to seek help, to avoid the negative and steer myself onto a clearer path, I listen only to good advice, I listen to my conscience, I listen to my faith and know there is always another way. 

They send me out to space,

For a star wars race, to be first on planet Mars or to go to the Moon, 

I refuse to go, as I have my feet firmly on the ground, I'll remain homeward bound, I'll remain fixed on the Earth as it needs my help, 

I do not want to waste my time fulfilling a wasted journey, I admire the universe from afar, It's beauty and it's mystery, I admire the Earth, the waves of thousands of years of change and history. 

They send me out to the wilderness,

I would either leave immediately or be a groundbreaking pioneer, thinking not only outside the box, but unlike anyone before or after, to help people like never before, to save lives, to invent life changing plans, to demolish the worthless causes and to build stable  conditions which continuously adapt, I would not accept a shoddy status quo, they would say there goes that eccentric man, with funny ideas, until one day genius would hit them back in the face. 

They send me out to war,

I'd have the strength to say no, 

They'd force me, but I wouldn't go, 

I do not want to hurt, maim or kill, 

It's not my war, it's not my fight, 

I do not think it's a thrill or that it's right, I'd pray for peace, I'd pray for calm and let the God of Heaven bless the world, hatred brings war and war brings hatred not peace, War instills the wish for revenge and resentment and death and suffering, it's a waste of time that our world likes to buy weapons of war, I say be free and pray happily and sing and dance, we have enough war in our minds, let's celebrate peace, not war, let's celebrate friendship and let's celebrate true love.
