I haven't really finished it , I'm just looking for ideas..
Thanks so much...Mouse.

Some things never change..
© realmouse 2003
Copywrite date 30/04/04


Verse 1
The worlds gone crazy,
I've never seen before,
People driven by tragedy,
Trying to gain control,
All I see is war,
All I feel is pain,
To the truly innocent,
There will be no peace today,

Chorus..
Though it hurts to know,
Some things never change,


Verse2
Poison on the land,
Seeps into the sea,
The air we breathe is tainted,
by our own contagious greed,
Still we ignore, signs from the sea,
The birds, the bees,
The air we breathe,
Every living thing,

Chorus
Though it hurts to know,
Some things never change,
Never change, never change,
Some things never change,

Bridge
Let us sow a seed of happiness,
Let it grow, let it grow, let it grow,
Teach the next generation, to nurture,
The things we need the most,
Love, peace and harmony,
The earth and everything we need,


Verse 3
We share in the emotions,
Of all human kind,
Be it different races,
We are all the same inside,
Sometimes our views differ,
Sometimes we set aside,
Anger for kindness,
Humility over pride,

Chorus.
At times it's good to know,
Some things never change,
Never change, never change,
Some things never change,

By putting in the reference to the middle east you are dating it. War will always happen so it will be relatable at anytime. But problems in the middle east are here and now. By the time that you have this song published or recorded it might not be happenening anymore.

I like that it has a happy ending.

Mind you the world may be regenerating new life
by then.

One suggestion, the second line, something I've never seen before, doesn't seem to work for me. You are suggesting in the song an endless cycle. I think that "Like I've never seen before" would work better. Just suggesting that it has been happening or happened before. But i really like the second verse, it flows really well.
