Broken World

This is a co-write between my wife Kathy and myself. In addition to the audio, we also have a video for this song done by Christiane, link is at the bottom of this post.

Broken World (2022, Kathy & Dave Bell)

This world is broken
The pain runs deep
Distrust rules
and talk is cheap

If war is the answer,
what was the question?
It makes no sense,
all this mindless aggression.

Chorus:
How will we heal
How will we love
When will we ever,
see the dove

Distrust and doubt,
we let them in
Mankind has caused
this world of sin

It's love my friend,
for God and man,
that will help us
to be one again

Chris did a great video for the song that matches the message perfectly I think:
