Not too sure about this one - so here goes, maybe some of you genuinely great musicians on here (which you all are, in my view - no exception) can give me an idea as to what to do with this one - whether to put it in the trash, in the picture frame or somewhere in between ... and, perhaps, how to improve on it. Anyway, here it is - thanks for all your kind help with listens and comments! Oh, before I forget, it's on "private mode", for now at least - but the link below should work.

War Zone


THE LYRICS:

I was walking 'round town, and I sat down
To think, once more ...
The world passed me by, I heard children cry,
All, as before ...

I saw an old man, his head in his hands,
Looking away ...
He looked so alone, his life almost gone,
So I started to pray ...

This is a war zone, Lord ... this is a war zone, Lord.

From the time I was born, to the time I'll be gone,
I'll have to fight
For my living today, for my ideals, again,
From morning 'til night ...

And the girl I love, who I thought (by Jove)
Was here to stay,
She left me to fight for all that is right,
She went away ...

This is a war zone, Lord ... this is a war zone, Lord.

And if I had the luck that she would come back,
I would not pray
For anything else, if that makes any sense,
To You, again ...

I'd need no more light, no more fights to fight
Ever, you see ...
If that one sweet girl, with her beautiful curls,
Would come back to me ...

This is a war zone, Lord ...

Make it a peaceful world.
