What Kind Of World Lyrics - Singles - Ruff Michael

What kind of world is this 

I'm afraid to walk these streets alone 

What kind of world is this 

Where the commonplace is a broken home 

What kind of world 

What kind of world is this 

Where the law determines life or death 

for your unborn child 

What kind is world is this 

We follow the images 

that mark these times 

And in this world 

Chorus: I don't want to be 

Solitary, solitary, no 

What kind of world is this 

Do we so believe in 

every story that we've sold 

What kind of world is this 

Where we welcome children 

but we shun the old 

And in this world 

Chorus 

What kind of world is this 

There's someone with your name 

sleeping on the street tonight 

What kind of world 

We turn our eyes away from lovers 

but we gather for a fight 

And in this world 

I don't want to be solitary 

(One of my many prayers for more 

compassion and forgiveness in our lives.) 

"The quality of mercy is not strained 

It falleth like the gentle rain from heaven 

It is twice blessed 

It blesseth he who gives and he who receives" 

--Edward Devere, 17th Earl of Oxford (aka William Shakespeare)
